FKIE_CVE-2026-4946

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-03-29 20:16 - Updated: 2026-03-30 15:16
Severity
8.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
Ghidra versions prior to 12.0.3 improperly process annotation directives embedded in automatically extracted binary data, resulting in arbitrary command execution when an analyst interacts with the UI. Specifically, the @execute annotation (which is intended for trusted, user-authored comments) is also parsed in comments generated during auto-analysis (such as CFStrings in Mach-O binaries). This allows a crafted binary to present seemingly benign clickable text which, when clicked, executes attacker-controlled commands on the analyst’s machine.

      "value": "Las versiones de Ghidra anteriores a la 12.0.3 procesan incorrectamente las directivas de anotaci\u00f3n incrustadas en datos binarios extra\u00eddos autom\u00e1ticamente, lo que resulta en la ejecuci\u00f3n arbitraria de comandos cuando un analista interact\u00faa con la interfaz de usuario. Espec\u00edficamente, la anotaci\u00f3n @execute (que est\u00e1 destinada a comentarios de confianza, creados por el usuario) tambi\u00e9n se analiza en comentarios generados durante el autoan\u00e1lisis (como CFStrings en binarios Mach-O). Esto permite que un binario manipulado presente texto en el que se puede hacer clic, aparentemente benigno, que, al hacer clic, ejecuta comandos controlados por el atacante en la m\u00e1quina del analista."
