CVE-2006-0525

14
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-0525 describes a privilege escalation vulnerability affecting multiple Adobe products, including Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, and Adobe Help Center. These applications install numerous executable and DLL files with write permissions for the "Everyone" group, allowing local users to gain elevated privileges by replacing legitimate files with malicious Trojan horse programs. With a CVSS score of 4.6 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P), this vulnerability requires local access and low attack complexity to achieve partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
