Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
hashcat (affected versions not specified)
Description
The software fails to restrict command-line options when parsing restore files. This allows attackers to inject output-redirecting options, such as
--outfile and --potfile-path. By crafting restore files with these malicious options, an attacker can append controlled content to arbitrary files, which may lead to code execution if shell startup files are targeted.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
