CVE-2023-28100  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade flatpak/flatpak to version 1.10.8, 1.12.8, 1.14.4, 1.15.4 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation such that if a Flatpak app is run on a Linux virtual console such as /dev/tty1, it can copy text from the virtual console and paste it into the command buffer, from which the command might be run after the Flatpak app has exited.

Note: Ordinary graphical terminal emulators like xterm, gnome-terminal and Konsole are unaffected.
