CVE-2024-53256
Rizin has a command injection via RzBinInfo bclass due legacy code
Rizin is a UNIX-like reverse engineering framework and command-line toolset. rizin.c still had an old snippet of code which suffered a command injection due the usage of rz_core_cmdf to invoke the command m which was removed in v0.1.x. A malicious binary defining bclass (part of RzBinInfo) is executed if rclass (part of RzBinInfo) is set to fs; the vulnerability can be exploited by any bin format where bclass and rclass are user defined. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.7.4.
