CVE-2018-17707 (GCVE-0-2018-17707)
Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2019-01-24 04:00 – Updated: 2024-08-05 10:54
VLAI
Summary
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Epic Games Launcher versions prior to 8.2.2. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the handler for the com.epicgames.launcher protocol. A crafted URI with the com.epicgames.launcher protocol can trigger execution of a system call composed from a user-supplied string. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user. Was ZDI-CAN-7241.
Severity
No CVSS data available.
