Description:
Brett Moore has reported a vulnerability in SecureCRT, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a design error, as the product allows an arbitrary configuration folder to be specified to the "telnet:" URI handler via the "/F" command line option.

This can e.g. be exploited by including a link to a remote configuration folder on a SMB share and trick a user into visiting a malicious web site containing the link.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary commands via a malicious logon script with the privileges of the user running SecureCRT.

The vulnerability has been reported in versions 4.1 and 4.0. Prior versions may also be affected.
