CVE-2025-55671

Local code execution via uncontrolled search path

Published Sep 5, 2025 · Updated Sep 5, 2025

Uncontrolled search path handling in kujirahand TkEasyGUI before 1.0.22 allows local users to execute code with the program's privileges. The public JVN notice, GitHub advisory, and upstream release do not identify the affected search operation or attacker-controlled path element. Exploitation requires user interaction and local influence over a searched location; successful code runs with the affected application's privileges.
