CVE-2018-8955
Estado: ModificadaCrítica (9.8)—
The installer for BitDefender GravityZone relies on an encoded string in a filename to determine the URL for installation metadata, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by changing the filename while leaving the file's digital signature unchanged.
