CVE-2022-45939 (GCVE-0-2022-45939)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-11-28 00:00 – Updated: 2025-04-28 18:12
VLAI?
Summary
GNU Emacs through 28.2 allows attackers to execute commands via shell metacharacters in the name of a source-code file, because lib-src/etags.c uses the system C library function in its implementation of the ctags program. For example, a victim may use the "ctags *" command (suggested in the ctags documentation) in a situation where the current working directory has contents that depend on untrusted input.
Severity ?
