CVE-2018-1167

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Spotify Music Player version 1.0.69.336

Description This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations. User interaction is required, where the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the processing of URI handlers due to the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this to execute code under the context of the current process.

Recommendations For Spotify Music Player version 1.0.69.336, consider disabling the URI handler processing functionality until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially malicious pages or files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
