      "value": "Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, WindowsViewer.get_command() constructed a cmd.exe shell command by directly embedding a file path into an f-string without escaping and passed the result to subprocess.Popen(..., shell=True), allowing shell metacharacters in the file path to inject arbitrary cmd.exe commands. This issue is fixed in version 12.3.0."

Antes de la versión 12.3.0, WindowsViewer.get_command() construía un comando de shell de cmd.exe al incrustar directamente una ruta de archivo en una f-string sin escape y pasaba el resultado a subprocess.Popen(..., shell=True), permitiendo que los metacaracteres de shell en la ruta del archivo inyectaran comandos arbitrarios de cmd.exe.
