Adobe Dreamweaver versions 21.0 (and earlier) and 20.2 (and earlier) is affected by an untrusted search path vulnerability that could result in information disclosure. An attacker with physical access to the system could replace certain configuration files and dynamic libraries that Dreamweaver references, potentially resulting in information disclosure.

Weakness

The product searches for critical resources using an externally-supplied search path that can point to resources that are not under the product’s direct control.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Dreamweaver Adobe * 20.2
Dreamweaver Adobe 21.0 21.0

Extended Description

This might allow attackers to execute their own programs, access unauthorized data files, or modify configuration in unexpected ways. If the product uses a search path to locate critical resources such as programs, then an attacker could modify that search path to point to a malicious program, which the targeted product would then execute. The problem extends to any type of critical resource that the product trusts. Some of the most common variants of untrusted search path are:
