CVE-2024-23749
KiTTY versions 0.76.1.13 and before is vulnerable to command injection via the filename variable, occurs due to insufficient input sanitization and validation, failure to escape special characters, and insecure system calls (at lines 2369-2390).
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.69%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
KiTTY versions 0.76.1.13 and before is vulnerable to command injection via the filename variable, occurs due to insufficient input sanitization and validation, failure to escape special characters, and insecure system calls (at lines 2369-2390). This allows an attacker to add inputs inside the filename variable, leading to arbitrary code execution.
