How to fix?

Upgrade kde/kmail to version 19.12.3 or higher.

Overview

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.
