electerm is an open-sourced terminal/ssh/sftp/telnet/serialport/RDP/VNC/Spice/ftp client. From versions 3.0.6 to before 3.8.15, electerm is vulnerable to arbitrary local code execution via deep links, CLI --opts, or crafted shortcuts. Exploit requires clicking a crafted electerm://... link or opening a crafted shortcut/command that launches electerm with attacker-controlled opts. This issue has been patched in version 3.8.15.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary local code execution in electerm (versions 3.0.6-3.8.14) allows remote attackers to execute malicious code on victim systems by tricking users into clicking crafted electerm:// deep links, opening malicious shortcuts, or running CLI commands with attacker-controlled --opts parameters. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation (CWE-20) on deep link and CLI arguments, enabling adversaries to inject arbitrary options that execute code with the privileges of the electerm process. …
