An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2009-2993 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Adobe Acrobat. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-2993/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-2993/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-2993","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-2993/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-2993","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q9x2-fv97-cmpm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Adobe Reader","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can create arbitrary files and potentially execute code via a crafted PDF due to improper JavaScript path restrictions in Adobe Reader.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"acrobat","vendor":"adobe"},{"product":"acrobat_reader","vendor":"adobe"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The JavaScript for Acrobat API in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 7.x before 7.1.4, 8.x before 8.1.7, and 9.x before 9.2 does not properly implement the (1) Privileged Context and (2) Safe Path restrictions for unspecified JavaScript methods, which allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files, and possibly execute arbitrary code, via the cPath parameter in a crafted PDF file.
