CVE-2012-4245

Published: 31 August 2012

The scriptfu network server in GIMP 2.6 does not require authentication, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the python-fu-eval command.

Notes

The scriptfu server is not widely used and security is not a part of
the server's design

The script-fu network server should not be used in untrusted
environments. We are not going to fix this, marking as ignored.
