Descriptions

NoMachine before 5.3.27 and 6.x before 6.3.6 allows attackers to gain privileges via a Trojan horse wintab32.dll file located in the same directory as a .nxs file, as demonstrated by a scenario where the .nxs file and the DLL are in the current working directory, and the Trojan horse code is executed. (The directory could, in general, be on a local filesystem or a network share.).

NoMachine en versiones anteriores a la 5.3.27 y versiones 6.x anteriores a la 6.3.6 permite que los atacantes obtengan privilegios mediante un archivo wintab32.dll troyano en el mismo directorio que un archivo .nxs, tal y como queda demostrado por un escenario en el que el archivo .nxs y el DLL están el directorio de trabajo actual y se ejecuta el código del troyano. (En general, el directorio podría estar en un sistema de archivos local o una ubicación compartida en red).

NoMachine versions 5.3.26 and below suffer from a remote code execution vulnerability when opening a malicious .nxs file.
