Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. If a user received a malicious file share and has it synced locally or the virtual filesystem enabled and clicked a nc://open/ link it will open the default editor for the file type of the shared file, which on Windows can also sometimes mean that a file depending on the type, e.g. vbs, is being executed.
