CVE-2025-14403
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
PDFsam Enhanced Launch Insufficient UI Warning Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of PDFsam Enhanced. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the Launch action. The issue results from allowing the execution of dangerous script without user warning. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user. Was ZDI-CAN-27500.

Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario en instalaciones afectadas de PDFsam Enhanced. Se requiere interacción del usuario para explotar la vulnerabilidad, ya que el objetivo debe visitar una página maliciosa o abrir un archivo malicioso.\\n\\nEl fallo específico existe dentro de la implementación de la acción Launch. El problema resulta de permitir la ejecución de scripts peligrosos sin advertencia al usuario. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del usuario actual.
