CVE-2017-1000083 is a critical command injection vulnerability affecting GNOME Evince versions prior to 3.24.1, specifically within its comic book backend. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted .cbt file, which is a TAR archive containing a filename starting with a malicious command-line option substring. With a CVSS score of 7.8 (High), successful exploitation grants high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts, requiring user interaction but with low attack complexity. While not on CISA's KEV catalog, public exploit code, including a Metasploit module, is available, indicating a high likelihood of exploitation, despite minimal community discussion or media coverage.
