Deepin · Deepin-Reader · CVE-2023-50254
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Deepin Linux's default document reader `deepin-reader` versions prior to 6.0.7
**Description**
The issue is caused by a design flaw in the `deepin-reader` software, leading to remote command execution via crafted docx documents. This is a file overwrite vulnerability, where remote code execution (RCE) can be achieved by overwriting files like `.bash rc`, `.bash login`, etc. RCE will be triggered when the user opens the terminal.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 6.0.7, update to version 6.0.7, which contains a patch for the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of `deepin-reader` for opening docx documents from untrusted sources until the issue is resolved. Restrict access to sensitive files and directories to minimize the risk of exploitation.
