| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Qt versions 5.14.0
Description
The issue is related to the QPluginLoader component of the Qt framework, which allows the loading of plugins relative to the working directory. This can be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted files, potentially leading to unauthorized access to confidential data, disruption of data integrity, and denial of service. The exploitation can be done remotely.
Recommendations
For Qt version 5.14.0, update to a version where this issue has been fixed to prevent the execution of arbitrary code via crafted files. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the loading of plugins to authorized directories to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Fix
Path traversal
