Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: GPG Suite versions prior to 2015.06

Description: The issue concerns the installPackage function in the installerHelper subcomponent of Libmacgpg, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. This is achieved by using shell metacharacters in the xmlPath argument.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 2015.06, update to version 2015.06 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the installPackage function in the installerHelper subcomponent to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using shell metacharacters in the xmlPath argument until the issue is resolved.
