A rogue local process with write access to the Electrum data directory can place plugin code in the plugins/ folder and mark it enabled, causing arbitrary code execution inside the Electrum process.","published":"2026-10-27T14:16:40.090","modified":"2026-10-27T14:16:40.090","cvss":{"score":8.4,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commit/032dfcf107da1d31bbee5d64ca978e554fd8e982","label":"spesmilo/electrum@032dfcf"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commit/032dfcf107da1d31bbee5d64ca978e554fd8e982"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commit/fd7164d6dc1560b6f153c018cabf17e9411c5414"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/security/advisories/GHSA-vw94-r84p-66qf"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/electrum-before-4.7.2-external-plugin-authorization-bypass-local-code-execution"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","NVD","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-10-27T14:16:40.090"}}
