Description
Illustrator versions 29.8.3, 30.0 and earlier are affected by an Untrusted Search Path vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.

Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file and scope is changed.
