A rogue local process with write access to the Electrum data directory can place plugin code in the plugins/ folder and mark it enabled, causing arbitrary code execution inside the Electrum process.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":8.6},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.4},"cwes":["CWE-347"],"references":["https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commit/032dfcf107da1d31bbee5d64ca978e554fd8e982","https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commit/fd7164d6dc1560b6f153c018cabf17e9411c5414","https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/security/advisories/GHSA-vw94-r84p-66qf","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/electrum-before-4.7.2-external-plugin-authorization-bypass-local-code-execution"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-27T16:16:04.830248275+00:00"},"epss":null,"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
