CVE-2024-53268
In affected versions attackers are able to abuse the fact that openExternal is used without any filtering of URI schemes to obtain remote code execution in Windows environments.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.74%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
