CVE-2020-24431
Acrobat Reader DC versions 2020.012.20048 (and earlier), 2020.001.30005 (and earlier) and 2017.011.30175 (and earlier) for macOS are affected by a security feature bypass that could result in dynamic library code injection by the Adobe Reader process.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.61%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
