DescriptionNVD

STIGQter is an open-source reimplementation of DISA's STIG Viewer. From 0.1.2 to before 1.2.7, an attacker can achieve local code execution (LCE) with the privileges of the user running STIGQter. This requires user interaction: the victim must open the malicious .stigqter file and explicitly run the "Export HTML" action. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.2.7.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal in STIGQter 0.1.2 through 1.2.6 allows local code execution when users open malicious .stigqter files and explicitly run the 'Export HTML' action. The CWE-22 path traversal flaw enables attackers to write arbitrary files with the victim's privileges, achieving code execution. …
