This vulnerability allows for a carefully crafted .VCF file to potentially enable a local attacker to compromise the privacy of a victim's data or execute arbitrary commands with the victim's privileges. This can also be used by remote attackers if the victim enables previews for remote files; however this is disabled by default.
