Severity
9.8 (Critical) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
Mobatek MobaXterm 12.1 contains a structured exception handling (SEH) based buffer overflow vulnerability in the username field of session files that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. Attackers can craft a malicious MobaXterm sessions file with overflow data that triggers the vulnerability when imported and executed, enabling reverse shell execution with user privileges.
