HACK Universal Adobe Patcher 1.2

the cross domain xdomainrequest object has a flaw that allows javascript code to access data from other domains. this was fixed in the cross domain fetch specification, but unfortunately, adobe did not make the necessary code changes. for adobe reader x, acrobat x, and acrobat xi, this does not present a security issue. users of these programs are not affected. however, for the other versions, hackers can exploit this flaw to make an xmlhttprequest to other domains. the flaw only works when the javascript code comes from the same domain as the xmlhttprequest and the browser does not return the proper cross-domain response. however, in some browsers, the browser will return a response that allows the xmlhttprequest to work. this is known as jsonp.

adobe acrobat makes use of this, and other similar techniques, to provide a lot of the functionality found in pdf files. pdf files are a popular type of file for hackers to use because of their low levels of security. with the way adobe acrobat works, a hacker can upload a pdf file and download the malicious javascript code. they can then use that code to steal information and create other attacks. if they were to use a similar exploit to infect a user, then they could steal information and use that information for a social engineering attack.

we’ve seen third-party software compromise our system before. this happened in august of 2016 when a hacker released a malicious version of adobe flash player. this version would have allowed the attacker to access all of a user’s data, regardless of which cloud service the user was using. this includes financial information, email, passwords and more. luckily, this attack didn’t lead to any significant damage, but it still showed how dangerous third-party software can be. people should understand that this is an issue that can occur anytime.

adobe creative cloud 2019 comes with new applications, new features and new ways of creation, however, its main products are starting to give up the classic windows 7. for example, their hardware (graphics card) acceleration feature is only available under windows 10 now. thats to say, from now on, youll be forced to stop using windows 7 os if you want to enjoy the full capabilities and performance of adobes mainstream programs.
currently, there are no details on how the hackers managed to gain access to the company’s servers. it is not known whether there are any ongoing threats, such as the hackers having access to the networks at the moment. piriform said they are not aware of any ongoing attacks and they are still investigating the situation.
after the breach, it is possible that the hackers could have been actively trying to target adobe customers. adobe says that the software is fully patched and that all of the vulnerable versions have been removed from its servers. it is possible that the hackers may still be able to attempt to attack through the backdoor that was used.
some question has also been raised about whether the hackers were able to take advantage of a vulnerability in the free version of the software. adobe is adamant that this was not the case. according to adobe, even though the pirated software can download updates to its software automatically, it is not meant to be installed on a business-critical machine.
the hackers have been using the adobe zii patcher for some time. according to the original notice of the hack, the software was first discovered on march 3, 2020. the first version was released on april 20, 2019.
