Adobe Illustrator Untrusted Search Path Vulnerability
Description
Illustrator versions 29.2.1, 28.7.4 and earlier are affected by an Untrusted Search Path vulnerability that might allow attackers to execute their own programs, access unauthorized data files, or modify configuration in unexpected ways.

The problem extends to any type of critical resource that the application trusts.
