How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable epiphany-browser to version 48.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream epiphany-browser package and not the epiphany-browser package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in Epiphany, a tool that allows websites to open external URL handler applications with minimal user interaction. This design can be misused to exploit vulnerabilities within those handlers, making them appear remotely exploitable. The browser fails to properly warn or gate this action, resulting in potential code execution on the client device via trusted UI behavior.
