CVE-2020-26947
monero-wallet-gui in Monero GUI before 0.17.1.0 includes the . directory in an embedded RPATH (with a preference ahead of /usr/lib), which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse library in the current working directory.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.36%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
