NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kde4libs package and not the kde4libs package as distributed by Debian.

kpac/script.cpp in KDE kio before 5.32 and kdelibs before 4.14.30 calls the PAC FindProxyForURL function with a full https URL (potentially including Basic Authentication credentials, a query string, or PATH_INFO), which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted PAC file.
