A rogue local process with write access to the Electrum data directory can place plugin code in the plugins/ folder and mark it enabled, causing arbitrary code execution inside the Electrum process.","cvssScore":8.4,"cvssSeverity":"HIGH","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","cwes":["CWE-347"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commit/032dfcf107da1d31bbee5d64ca978e554fd8e982","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commit/fd7164d6dc1560b6f153c018cabf17e9411c5414","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/security/advisories/GHSA-vw94-r84p-66qf","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/electrum-before-4.7.2-external-plugin-authorization-bypass-local-code-execution","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commit/032dfcf107da1d31bbee5d64ca978e554fd8e982","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commit/fd7164d6dc1560b6f153c018cabf17e9411c5414","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/security/advisories/GHSA-vw94-r84p-66qf","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":null}
