Description
The (1) stopserver.sh and (2) startserver.sh scripts in Adobe Version Cue on Mac OS X uses the current working directory to find and execute the productname.sh script, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by copying and calling the scripts from a user-controlled directory.
