Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MobaXterm versions 11.1 through 12.1

Description The protocol handler in MobaXterm is susceptible to command injection. An attacker can craft a link that, when accepted by the user, can lead to command execution. This is demonstrated by the MobaXterm://calc URI, which can trigger the execution of the calculator application.

Recommendations For MobaXterm versions 11.1 through 12.1, consider disabling the protocol handler as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to links that may trigger the MobaXterm protocol handler to minimize the risk of exploitation.
