CVE-2018-10895 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:12 qutebrowser to version 1.4.1-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qutebrowser package and not the qutebrowser package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.
qutebrowser before version 1.4.1 is vulnerable to a cross-site request forgery flaw that allows websites to access 'qute://*' URLs. A malicious website could exploit this to load a 'qute://settings/set' URL, which then sets 'editor.command' to a bash script, resulting in arbitrary code execution.
