AI Analysis

Impact

Photoshop Mobile contains an improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory, a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22), allowing a path traversal attack. A low‑privileged attacker can access files or directories outside the intended restrictions, potentially bypassing security controls. The description states that the exploit requires a victim to open a malicious file, so it is not an automated or remote attack but depends on user interaction.

Affected Systems

Adobe Photoshop Android is affected. No specific version information is disclosed in the available data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 5, indicating a medium severity vulnerability. The EPSS score is not available and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the exploitation requires the victim to open a malicious file, the attack vector is user‑driven. The risk of widespread compromise is limited, but an attacker can threaten confidentiality by accessing sensitive files if a user inadvertently opens a crafted file.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Adobe Photoshop Mobile to the latest version that includes the path‑traversal fix.
  • Disable or restrict the ability to open external files on devices where the feature is not needed.
  • Verify that the device’s file access controls enforce directory boundaries and log any attempts to read restricted paths.
