Description
In Qt 5.9.x through 5.15.x before 5.15.9 and 6.x before 6.2.4 on Linux and UNIX, QProcess could execute a binary from the current working directory when not found in the PATH.
A flaw was found in qt. The vulnerability occurs due to executing binaries from the current directory when the loading path failed, leading to an uncontrolled path element vulnerability. This flaw allows an attacker to execute malicious executables.
