Description

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.

Affected configurations

• electrum electrum (<= 2.9.4) • electrum electrum 3.0.0 • electrum electrum 3.0.1 • electrum electrum 3.0.2 • electrum electrum 3.0.3 • electrum electrum 3.0.5
