It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2018-4873 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2018-4873 is a high-severity vulnerability in Creative Cloud Desktop Application 4.4.1.298 and earlier versions, published on 19 May 2018. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-4873 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Creative Cloud Desktop Application 4.4.1.298 and earlier versions. 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-2018-4873/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-4873/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-4873","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-4873/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-4873","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x8qr-mc64-66wh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Adobe Creative Cloud","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges via an unquoted search path vulnerability in the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"adobe","cpe":[{"product":"creative_cloud","vendor":"adobe"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-428","name":"Unquoted Search Path or Element"}],"description":"Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application versions 4.4.1.298 and earlier have an exploitable Unquoted Search Path vulnerability.
