What is CVE-2019-13637?
CVE-2019-13637 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in n/a, published on 17 Jul 2019. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
In LogMeIn join.me before 3.16.0.5505, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands on a targeted system. This vulnerability is due to unsafe search paths used by the application URI that is defined in Windows. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a targeted user to follow a malicious link. Successful exploitation could cause the application to load libraries from the directory targeted by the URI link. The attacker could use this behavior to execute arbitrary commands on the system with the privileges of the targeted user if the attacker can place a crafted library in a directory that is accessible to the vulnerable system.
