CVE-2022-34903
CVSS v2.0
7.8
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:P/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
GnuPG versions prior to 2.3.7
Description
The issue is related to insufficient neutralization of special elements in a request, allowing a remote attacker to access and compromise confidential data. In unusual situations where an attacker possesses secret-key information from a victim's keyring and other constraints are met, such as the use of GPGME, signature forgery is possible via injection into the status line.
Recommendations
For GnuPG versions prior to 2.3.7, update to version 2.3.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of GPGME to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, ensure that secret-key information is properly secured to prevent unauthorized access.
