CVE-2012-3479 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2026-04-29 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
lisp/files.el in Emacs 23.2, 23.3, 23.4, and 24.1 automatically executes eval forms in local-variable sections when the enable-local-variables option is set to :safe, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary Emacs Lisp code via a crafted file.
CVE-2012-1103 2 Gnu, Notmuchmail 2 Emacs, Notmuch 2026-04-29 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
emacs/notmuch-mua.el in Notmuch before 0.11.1, when using the Emacs interface, allows user-assisted remote attackers to read arbitrary files via crafted MML tags, which are not properly quoted in an email reply cna cause the files to be attached to the message.
CVE-2012-0035 2 Eric M Ludlam, Gnu 2 Cedet, Emacs 2026-04-29 9.3 HIGH N/A
Untrusted search path vulnerability in EDE in CEDET before 1.0.1, as used in GNU Emacs before 23.4 and other products, allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted Lisp expression in a Project.ede file in the directory, or a parent directory, of an opened file.
CVE-2010-0825 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2026-04-29 4.4 MEDIUM N/A
lib-src/movemail.c in movemail in emacs 22 and 23 allows local users to read, modify, or delete arbitrary mailbox files via a symlink attack, related to improper file-permission checks.
CVE-2007-6109 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2026-04-23 10.0 HIGH N/A
Stack-based buffer overflow in emacs allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly have unspecified other impact via a large precision value in an integer format string specifier to the format function, as demonstrated via a certain "emacs -batch -eval" command line.
CVE-2008-2142 1 Gnu 2 Emacs, Xemacs 2026-04-23 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
Emacs 21 and XEmacs automatically load and execute .flc (fast lock) files that are associated with other files that are edited within Emacs, which allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code.
CVE-2008-1694 1 Gnu 2 Emacs, Sccs 2026-04-23 4.6 MEDIUM N/A
vcdiff in Emacs 20.7 to 22.1.50, when used with SCCS, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
CVE-2007-5795 2 Debian, Gnu 2 Debian Linux, Emacs 2026-04-23 6.3 MEDIUM N/A
The hack-local-variables function in Emacs before 22.2, when enable-local-variables is set to :safe, does not properly search lists of unsafe or risky variables, which might allow user-assisted attackers to bypass intended restrictions and modify critical program variables via a file containing a Local variables declaration.
CVE-2007-2833 3 Debian, Gnu, Mandrakesoft 4 Debian Linux, Emacs, Mandrake Linux and 1 more 2026-04-23 7.8 HIGH N/A
Emacs 21 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain crafted images, as demonstrated via a GIF image in vm mode, related to image size calculation.
CVE-2000-0271 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2026-04-16 4.6 MEDIUM N/A
read-passwd and other Lisp functions in Emacs 20 do not properly clear the history of recently typed keys, which allows an attacker to read unencrypted passwords.
CVE-2000-0270 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2026-04-16 3.6 LOW N/A
The make-temp-name Lisp function in Emacs 20 creates temporary files with predictable names, which allows attackers to conduct a symlink attack.
CVE-2005-0100 1 Gnu 2 Emacs, Xemacs 2026-04-16 7.5 HIGH N/A
Format string vulnerability in the movemail utility in (1) Emacs 20.x, 21.3, and possibly other versions, and (2) XEmacs 21.4 and earlier, allows remote malicious POP3 servers to execute arbitrary code via crafted packets.
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.
