Vieb -- Remote Code Execution via Visiting Untrusted URLs

2025-09-03 · VuXML entry

Zhengyu Liu, Jianjia Yu, Jelmer van Arnhem report: We discovered a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the latest release of the Vieb browser (v12.3.0). By luring a user to visit a malicious website, an attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution on the victim’s machine.

Affected versions

• linux-vieb < 12.4.0

By system

0 still vulnerable, 1 fixed. Where VuXML applies (FreeBSD, DragonFly, FreeBSD's derivatives) a port is vulnerable while its version is in a range; pkgsrc says itself whether it lists a CVE of this advisory; OpenBSD and MidnightBSD keep no list this site reads, so their row is only an estimate: FreeBSD's ranges applied to upstream's version.
