It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-28633 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-2021-28633/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-28633/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-28633","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-28633/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-28633","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g7f3-p5rj-hpx5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Adobe Creative Cloud","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An attacker with physical access can overwrite arbitrary files via insecure temporary file creation in the Adobe Creative Cloud installer.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"adobe","cpe":[{"product":"creative_cloud_desktop_application","vendor":"adobe"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-668","name":"Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere"},{"id":"CWE-379","name":"Creation of Temporary File in Directory with Insecure Permissions"}],"description":"Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application (installer) version 2.4 (and earlier) is affected by an Insecure temporary file creation vulnerability.
