How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:22.04 kmail.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kmail package and not the kmail package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:22.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in KDE KMail before 19.12.3. By using the proprietary (non-RFC6068) "mailto?attach=..." parameter, a website (or other source of mailto links) can make KMail attach local files to a composed email message without showing a warning to the user, as demonstrated by an attach=.bash_history value.
