Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Yelp, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error when reporting an invalid URI to the user. This can be exploited by tricking the user into e.g. opening a specially crafted URI containing format string specifiers.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is reported in version 2.23.1. Other versions may also be affected.
