|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2000-0269 | 1 Gnu | 1 Emacs | 2026-04-16 | 2.1 LOW | N/A |
| Emacs 20 does not properly set permissions for a slave PTY device when starting a new subprocess, which allows local users to read or modify communications between Emacs and the subprocess. | |||||
| CVE-2003-1232 | 1 Gnu | 1 Emacs | 2026-04-16 | 5.1 MEDIUM | N/A |
| Emacs 21.2.1 does not prompt or warn the user before executing Lisp code in the local variables section of a text file, which allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary commands, as demonstrated using the mode-name variable. | |||||
| CVE-2001-1301 | 2 Gnu, Xemacs | 2 Emacs, Xemacs | 2026-04-16 | 1.2 LOW | N/A |
| rcs2log, as used in Emacs 20.4, xemacs 21.1.10 and other versions before 21.4, and possibly other packages, allows local users to modify files of other users via a symlink attack on a temporary file. | |||||
| CVE-2024-53920 | 1 Gnu | 1 Emacs | 2025-11-03 | N/A | 7.8 HIGH |
| In elisp-mode.el in GNU Emacs before 30.1, a user who chooses to invoke elisp-completion-at-point (for code completion) on untrusted Emacs Lisp source code can trigger unsafe Lisp macro expansion that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code. (This unsafe expansion also occurs if a user chooses to enable on-the-fly diagnosis that byte compiles untrusted Emacs Lisp source code.) | |||||
| CVE-2024-30202 | 1 Gnu | 2 Emacs, Org Mode | 2025-05-01 | N/A | 7.8 HIGH |
| In Emacs before 29.3, arbitrary Lisp code is evaluated as part of turning on Org mode. This affects Org Mode before 9.6.23. | |||||
| CVE-2024-30203 | 2 Debian, Gnu | 3 Debian Linux, Emacs, Org Mode | 2025-05-01 | N/A | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| In Emacs before 29.3, Gnus treats inline MIME contents as trusted. | |||||
| CVE-2024-30204 | 2 Debian, Gnu | 3 Debian Linux, Emacs, Org Mode | 2025-05-01 | N/A | 2.8 LOW |
| In Emacs before 29.3, LaTeX preview is enabled by default for e-mail attachments. | |||||
| CVE-2024-30205 | 2 Debian, Gnu | 3 Debian Linux, Emacs, Org Mode | 2025-05-01 | N/A | 7.1 HIGH |
| In Emacs before 29.3, Org mode considers contents of remote files to be trusted. This affects Org Mode before 9.6.23. | |||||
| CVE-2024-39331 | 1 Gnu | 1 Emacs | 2025-04-30 | N/A | 9.8 CRITICAL |
| In Emacs before 29.4, org-link-expand-abbrev in lisp/ol.el expands a %(...) link abbrev even when it specifies an unsafe function, such as shell-command-to-string. This affects Org Mode before 9.7.5. | |||||
| CVE-2022-45939 | 3 Debian, Fedoraproject, Gnu | 3 Debian Linux, Fedora, Emacs | 2025-04-28 | N/A | 7.8 HIGH |
| GNU Emacs through 28.2 allows attackers to execute commands via shell metacharacters in the name of a source-code file, because lib-src/etags.c uses the system C library function in its implementation of the ctags program. For example, a victim may use the "ctags *" command (suggested in the ctags documentation) in a situation where the current working directory has contents that depend on untrusted input. | |||||
| CVE-2022-48339 | 1 Gnu | 1 Emacs | 2025-03-18 | N/A | 7.8 HIGH |
| An issue was discovered in GNU Emacs through 28.2. htmlfontify.el has a command injection vulnerability. In the hfy-istext-command function, the parameter file and parameter srcdir come from external input, and parameters are not escaped. If a file name or directory name contains shell metacharacters, code may be executed. | |||||
| CVE-2022-48338 | 1 Gnu | 1 Emacs | 2025-03-18 | N/A | 7.3 HIGH |
| An issue was discovered in GNU Emacs through 28.2. In ruby-mode.el, the ruby-find-library-file function has a local command injection vulnerability. The ruby-find-library-file function is an interactive function, and bound to C-c C-f. Inside the function, the external command gem is called through shell-command-to-string, but the feature-name parameters are not escaped. Thus, malicious Ruby source files may cause commands to be executed. | |||||
| CVE-2022-48337 | 2 Debian, Gnu | 2 Debian Linux, Emacs | 2025-03-18 | N/A | 9.8 CRITICAL |
| GNU Emacs through 28.2 allows attackers to execute commands via shell metacharacters in the name of a source-code file, because lib-src/etags.c uses the system C library function in its implementation of the etags program. For example, a victim may use the "etags -u *" command (suggested in the etags documentation) in a situation where the current working directory has contents that depend on untrusted input. | |||||
| CVE-2023-27986 | 1 Gnu | 1 Emacs | 2025-03-05 | N/A | 7.8 HIGH |
| emacsclient-mail.desktop in Emacs 28.1 through 28.2 is vulnerable to Emacs Lisp code injections through a crafted mailto: URI with unescaped double-quote characters. It is fixed in 29.0.90. | |||||
| CVE-2023-27985 | 1 Gnu | 1 Emacs | 2025-03-05 | N/A | 7.8 HIGH |
| emacsclient-mail.desktop in Emacs 28.1 through 28.2 is vulnerable to shell command injections through a crafted mailto: URI. This is related to lack of compliance with the Desktop Entry Specification. It is fixed in 29.0.90 | |||||
| CVE-2023-2491 | 2 Gnu, Redhat | 5 Emacs, Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Eus and 2 more | 2025-01-22 | N/A | 7.8 HIGH |
| A flaw was found in the Emacs text editor. Processing a specially crafted org-mode code with the "org-babel-execute:latex" function in ob-latex.el can result in arbitrary command execution. This CVE exists because of a CVE-2023-28617 security regression for the emacs package in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2. | |||||
