Discussion

Comix 'filename' Remote Command Execution Vulnerability

Comix is prone to a remote shell command-execution vulnerability because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

Successfully exploiting this issue will allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user running the affected application.

Comix 3.6.4 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
