Hi Nils,
I wasn't able to reproduce the exploit on my (64-bit) system with either
Caja and Nautilus (it also required setting up a new wineprefix in
~/.wine). The msi thumbnail ended up generating without any version
information tag at all.
Regardless, I've gone and replaced the VBScript-based parsing entirely
with msitools' msiinfo in
https://github.com/gnome-exe-thumbnailer/gnome-exe-thumbnailer/commit/1d8e3102dd8fd23431ae6127d14a236da6b4a4a5;
hopefully this should fix the issue. I'll tag a new release soon and
look at pushing the fix to Debian.
(Also CC'ing the other maintainers, who I don't think are on the Debian
Wine list)
Best,
James
