Severity ?
8.2 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L
Summary
KDE Konsole before 25.04.2 allows remote code execution in a certain scenario. It supports loading URLs from the scheme handlers such as a ssh:// or telnet:// or rlogin:// URL. This can be executed regardless of whether the ssh, telnet, or rlogin binary is available. In this mode, there is a code path where if that binary is not available, Konsole falls back to using /bin/bash for the given arguments (i.e., the URL) provided. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Admite la carga de URL desde los controladores de esquema, como ssh://, telnet:// o rlogin://. Esto se puede ejecutar independientemente de si el binario ssh, telnet o rlogin est\u00e1 disponible. En este modo, existe una ruta de c\u00f3digo donde, si ese binario no est\u00e1 disponible, Konsole recurre a /bin/bash para los argumentos proporcionados (es decir, la URL). Esto permite a un atacante ejecutar c\u00f3digo arbitrario."
