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-2021-28547 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Adobe Creative Cloud (desktop component). 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-2021-28547/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-28547/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-28547","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-28547/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-28547","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7xwr-7pqp-xmjv"],"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":"A local attacker can delete the OOBE directory to gain administrator permissions on Adobe Creative Cloud for macOS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"adobe","cpe":[{"product":"creative_cloud_desktop_application","vendor":"adobe"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","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-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application for macOS version 5.3 (and earlier) is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability that could allow a normal user to delete the OOBE directory and get permissions of any directory under the administrator authority.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Adobe Creative Cloud for macOS Privilege Escalation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-28547","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Adobe Photoshop parsing JS buffer overflow vulnerability could lead to arbitrary code execution","id":"CVE-2021-28548"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Acrobat Reader DC Missing Support for Integrity Check","id":"CVE-2021-28546"},"products":["Creative Cloud (desktop component)"],"published":"2021-09-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application","id":"CVE-2020-9671","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-07-17"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application","id":"CVE-2020-9682","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-07-17"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application","id":"CVE-2020-9670","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-07-16"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Creative Cloud Desktop | Uncontrolled Search Path Element (CWE-427)","id":"CVE-2026-48272","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"GoCart | Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition (CWE-367)","id":"CVE-2026-48344","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Adobe Creative Cloud Incorrect Permission Assignment Privilege Escalation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-43019","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-23"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-23","vendors":["Adobe"]},"summary":"A local attacker can delete the OOBE directory to gain administrator permissions on Adobe Creative Cloud for macOS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-28547/"}
