CVE-2019-16647

CVE-2019-16647 describes an Unquoted Search Path vulnerability affecting Maxthon Browser for Windows versions 5.1.0 through 5.2.7. This high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 7.2) allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges due to the browser's improper handling of search paths. While the attack complexity is low and no user interaction is required, it necessitates high privileges (PR:H) for exploitation, leading to potential high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, nor are there public Metasploit or ExploitDB modules, though it has garnered some community discussion and media coverage.
