Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions LXDE GPicView version 0.1.9

Description The issue allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a filename. This is due to a problem in the src/main-win.c file of GPicView.

Recommendations For GPicView version 0.1.9, consider avoiding the use of filenames that contain shell metacharacters until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the ability to open files with potentially malicious filenames to minimize the risk of exploitation.
