CVE-2017-17533

8.8 highEPSS 1.6%

High (8.8) in tkabber project tkabber. EPSS 1.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

default.tcl in Tkabber 1.1 does not validate strings before launching the program specified by the BROWSER environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to conduct argument-injection attacks via a crafted URL. NOTE: a third party has indicated that the attack cannot occur because of the argument-parsing behavior of the Tcl exec function
