NVD Description

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

Kitty is a cross-platform GPU based terminal. In versions prior to 0.47.3, kitty's OSC 21 (color-control) query reply reflects attacker-controlled bytes, including newlines, into the shell's input without sanitization. Version 0.47.3 fixes the issue.
