CVE-2018-6353
Last modified
CVE-2018-6353 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Python console in Electrum through 2.9.4 and 3.x through 3.0.5 supports arbitrary Python code without considering (1) social-engineering attacks in which a user pastes code that they do not understand and (2) code pasted by a physically proximate attacker at an unattended workstation, which makes it easier for attackers to steal Bitcoin via hook code that runs at a later time when the wallet password has been entered, a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-1000022.. EPSS estimates a 0.49% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
