4) Security features bypass

EUVDB-ID: #VU72257

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25734

CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling Windows .url shortcuts that are opened by the browser from the local filesystem. A remote attacker can trick the victim into launching a specially crafted shortcut that then initiates network requests from the operating system to the malicious server. A remote attacker can obtain potentially sensitive information including NTLM credentials.

Note, the vulnerability affects Windows installations only.
