An issue was discovered in Zalo.exe in VNG Zalo Desktop 19.8.1.0. An attacker can run arbitrary commands on a remote Windows machine running the Zalo client by sending the user of the device a crafted file.

Weakness

The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
