Official Description
Photon microGUI in QNX Neutrino realtime operating system (RTOS) 6.1.0 and 6.2.0 allows attackers to read user clipboard information via a direct request to the 1.TEXT file in a directory whose name is a hex-encoded user ID.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2002-2409 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
