I’m curious. What forms of Photoshop "add-ins" are generally vulnerable to any form of hacking (Assume I’m not talking about a direct exploit that somehow tricks PShop due to a buffer overrun or something).
I mean, of the following, which should I be concerned with if it’s from a source I don’t know about?
Actions
Fonts
Brushes
Vectors
(anything else I’m not thinking of?)
Installable PlugIns
I assume the last is dangerous, since it’s presumably executable code being added in many, if not all, instances, but what about the others? Which of Photoshop’s numerous extensible forms are subject to casual hacking (again, excluding some unobvious exploit)
Are there known and obvious ways for someone to use those to install malware?
If I’m surfing the web, and encounter a site offering a few free tools, like brushes or actions, or whatever, do I need to worry about some sort of trojan or anything masquerading as a useful tool, assuming they don’t get installed via an install routine, and/or don’t contain "exe" or "dll" code??
I assume this question has already been discussed, but a casual search did not identify anything resembling the question.
Any information in this regard would be appreciated.
TIA
