Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Eudora versions 4.x
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to bypass the user warning for executable attachments such as .exe, .com, and .bat by using a .lnk file that refers to the attachment. This is also known as "Stealth Attachment."
Recommendations
For Eudora version 4.x, consider disabling the handling of .lnk files as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to executable attachments to minimize the risk of exploitation.
