Summary

The CImg Library versions up to 2.3.3 are susceptible to command injection through the load_network() function. When an image is loaded from a user-controlled URL, the lack of proper string sanitization can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands, potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE). Users are advised to upgrade to version 2.3.4 or later to mitigate this risk.

Affected Version(s)

The CImg Library v.2.3.3 and earlier [fixed: v.2.3.4]

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
