What an attacker can do

When an attacker can create a filesystem entry beginning with plus or minus in the working directory, an affected editor is selected, and the path can remain relative or is converted to a relative WSL path, launchEditor forwards the path without forcing it to be interpreted as a positional filename. Vendor/CNA’s CVSS 4.0 assessment (base score 6.3/10) rates confidentiality, integrity and availability impact as low.
