Severity: High
Title: Konsole: Code execution
Date: June 15, 2025
Bugs: #957792
ID: 202506-13

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Synopsis
========

An input sanitization flaw in Konsole might allow remote attackers to
execute commands via a malicious URL

Background
==========

Konsole is KDE's terminal emulator.

Affected packages
=================

Package Vulnerable Unaffected
---------------- ------------ -------------
kde-apps/konsole < 24.12.3-r1 >= 24.12.3-r1

Description
===========

Konsole supports loading URLs from the scheme handlers such as
telnet://URL. This can be executed regardless of whether the telnet
binary is available. It would fallback to bash in that case and execute arbitrary code.

Impact
======

Clicking a malicious URL in a browser may lead to arbitrary code
execution. Please review the referenced CVE identifier for details.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Konsole users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=kde-apps/konsole-24.12.3-r1"

References
