CVE-2024-8067

Local argument injection via Unicode best-fit conversion

Published Sep 24, 2024 · Updated Nov 21, 2024

Argument injection in Perforce Helix Core before 2024.1 Patch 2 allows local users to manipulate command arguments through Unicode input. Perforce has not disclosed the affected executable or API call; the published mechanism only identifies Windows ANSI best-fit conversion of Unicode text. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and a matching conversion condition, enabling data modification and limited disclosure or service interruption.
