An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-8238 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Adobe Acrobat Dc. 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-2019-8238/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8238/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-8238","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8238/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-8238","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gww8-x289-8wq4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Adobe Acrobat Reader","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A path traversal vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat and Reader allows attackers to disclose sensitive information to the current user.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"adobe","cpe":[{"product":"acrobat_dc","vendor":"adobe"},{"product":"acrobat_reader_dc","vendor":"adobe"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2019.010.20100 and earlier; 2019.010.20099 and earlier versions; 2017.011.30140 and earlier version; 2017.011.30138 and earlier version; 2015.006.30495 and earlier versions; 2015.006.30493 and earlier versions have a Path Traversal vulnerability.
