A vulnerability was found in GNU Emacs up to 28.2 (Word Processing Software). It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown code block of the file lib-src/etags.c of the component Source-Code File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a os command injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-78. The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
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 etags program. For example, a victim may use the "etags -u *" command (suggested in the etags documentation) in a situation where the current working directory has contents that depend on untrusted input.
The weakness was shared 02/21/2023. The advisory is available at git.savannah.gnu.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2022-48337 since 02/20/2023.
