Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Untrusted Search Path when the EXTERNALBROWSER authentication method is used, on Windows. The openBrowser() function in SessionUtilExternalBrowser.java relies upon the xdg-open command that doesn't exist by default on Windows. When the application looks up the command on the system's %PATH% it can be tricked into executing a malicious program placed in one of the traversed directories by a malicious user with limited privileges, thereby elevating their privileges to those of the JDBC driver.
