Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GNOME Evince versions prior to 3.24.1

Description The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a .cbt file that is a TAR archive containing a filename beginning with a "--" command-line option substring. This can be demonstrated by a filename starting with --checkpoint-action=exec=bash at the beginning of the filename. The vulnerability is related to the failure to neutralize special elements used in a command.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.24.1, update to version 3.24.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of .cbt files that are TAR archives containing filenames starting with the "--" command-line option substring. Restrict access to the comic book backend to minimize the risk of exploitation.
