CVE-2025-46738

Arbitrary code execution via modified layout files

Published May 12, 2025 · Updated May 12, 2025

Deserialization of layout data files in SEL-5033 before 1.154.200.3500 allows local users to execute arbitrary code. The application deserializes attacker-modified layout data from its installation directory without treating the file contents as untrusted. Exploitation requires authenticated local access and user interaction, and successful code runs through the affected application.
