  - Creative Cloud Desktop versions 6.7.0.278 and earlier are affected by a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU)
    Race Condition vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary file system write. A low-privileged attacker
    could exploit the timing between the check and use of a resource, potentially allowing unauthorized
    modifications to files. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. (CVE-2025-54271)
