Security vulnerability

[m4ko]

Hello,

I am a security researcher and I have Discovered a security vulnerability in the Code::Blocks IDE 17.12 (newest version). It's a high severity Remote Code Execution vulnerability.

Where do I report it?

The first thing you'd want to do is see if it's been fixed in the years since the 17.12 release.  Newer pre-release builds are here:

PM me. But I doubt there is anything "serious"/fixable. After all C::B is executing compilers/linkers which generate executables, so it is insecure by nature

Remote Code Execution vulnerability

I wonder though how can you access something remotely of CodeBlocks? After all it is a desktop application without any server functionality?

I can see the non-working cb_koders plugin being a possible vector.
Or, the devpack plugin. Which is almost bad enough to call non-working.
