NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gjots2 package and not the gjots2 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

lib/gui.py in Bob Hepple gjots2 2.4.1 does not validate strings before launching the program specified by the BROWSER environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to conduct argument-injection attacks via a crafted URL.
