Discussion

Trillian URI Handler Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities

Trillian is prone to remote command- and code-execution vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly handle user-supplied input via a registered URI.

Successfully exploiting these issues allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands or code in the context of the affected application.
