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.

open_actions.py in kitty before 0.41.0 does not ask for user confirmation before running a local executable file that may have been linked from an untrusted document (e.g., a document opened in KDE ghostwriter).
