Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 22.003.20282 (and earlier), 22.003.20281 (and earlier) and 20.005.30418 (and earlier) are affected by a Creation of Temporary File in Directory with Incorrect Permissions vulnerability that could result in privilege escalation in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
The product creates a temporary file in a directory whose permissions allow unintended actors to determine the file's existence or otherwise access that file.
The product exposes a resource to the wrong control sphere, providing unintended actors with inappropriate access to the resource.
