CVE-2000-0595 describes a vulnerability in libedit, affecting FreeBSD, where the library incorrectly searches for the .editrc file in the current working directory instead of the user's home directory. This flaw allows a local attacker to potentially execute arbitrary commands by placing a malicious .editrc file in a directory where a user might invoke an application linked against libedit. Rated as Medium severity (CVSS 4.6), it requires local access and low attack complexity, with potential impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
