Ghost Script Command Execution

GhostScript Sandbox Bypass (Command Execution) Vulnerability is a critical security flaw found in the popular open-source software used for interpreting PostScript language and PDF files. The vulnerability allows attackers to bypass the built-in sandbox protection and execute arbitrary commands on the targeted system. This can lead to complete compromise of the system if a maliciously crafted PDF file is opened. It is highly recommended to upgrade to a fixed version of GhostScript as soon as possible to protect against this vulnerability. Failing to do so puts the system at risk of being exploited by malicious actors.
