Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. In Github.com/migueldeicaza/SwiftTerm, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact Attacker could modify the window title via a certain character escape sequence and then insert it back to the command line in the user's terminal, e.g. when the user views a file containing the malicious sequence, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands. ### Credit These bugs were found and disclosed by David Leadbeater <dgl@dgl.cx> (@dgl at Github.com) ### Patches Fixed in version ce596e0dc8cdb288bc7ed5c6a59011ee3a8dc171 ### Workarounds There are no workarounds available ### References Similar exploits to this existed in the past, for terminal emulators: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2003-0063 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2008-2383 Additional background and information is also available: https://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=104612710031920&w=2 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=510030
