NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream evolution package and not the evolution package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.10 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in GNOME Evolution before 3.35.91. By using the proprietary (non-RFC6068) "mailto?attach=..." parameter, a website (or other source of mailto links) can make Evolution attach local files or directories to a composed email message without showing a warning to the user, as demonstrated by an attach=. value.
