NewCVE-2026-43941 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for electerm.
Overview
electerm is an open-sourced terminal/ssh/telnet/serialport/sftp client
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Open Redirect in the shell.openExternal process. An attacker can execute arbitrary code or access local files by crafting a malicious URI in terminal output and enticing a user to click the displayed link. This can result in the execution of dangerous protocol handlers or the exfiltration of sensitive data.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by avoiding clicking on links in terminal sessions from untrusted sources, disabling hyperlink rendering in terminal settings, using a terminal multiplexer or filtered terminal application, or running the application in a restricted environment that limits protocol handler execution.
