draw.io Desktop on Windows runs attacker code from diagram folder

high severity · published 2026-10-30

On Windows, draw.io Desktop launched PowerShell and attrib by bare name, so a fake powershell.bat or attrib.exe placed next to a diagram could run instead of the real system tools. A victim who extracted an attacker-supplied archive and cold-opened its .drawio file while the app was not already running would execute attacker-controlled code.
