Elevated rights in C:\Program Files should be demised
Elevated rights pose possible vulnerability with applications which grant these privileges in the C:\Program Files. Acrobat DC creates the folders below and grants everyone “modify” rights. to these folders:
C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\COMMON FILES\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache
C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\COMMON FILES\Adobe\SLCache
The following scenarios are presented:
- Install Acrobat DC but do not launch it. Modify the rights and remove full control. Acrobat DC will not launch.
- Install Acrobat DC, launch it. Modify the rights. Acrobat DC launches with no issues.
Is there a way to modify your application so it installs without having the full rights present?
