AI-analyzed exploit summary This PoC exploits CVE-2023-52076, a path traversal and arbitrary file write vulnerability in Atril/Xreader document viewers (MATE Desktop). The exploit crafts a malicious EPUB file with zip-slip paths targeting SSH authorized_keys or autostart .desktop files to achieve remote command execution or SSH key injection.
Description
Atril Document Viewer is the default document reader of the MATE desktop environment for Linux. A path traversal and arbitrary file write vulnerability exists in versions of Atril prior to 1.26.2. This vulnerability is capable of writing arbitrary files anywhere on the filesystem to which the user opening a crafted document has access. The only limitation is that this vulnerability cannot be exploited to overwrite existing files, but that doesn't stop an attacker from achieving Remote Command Execution on the target system. Version 1.26.2 of Atril contains a patch for this vulnerability.
