CVE-2018-10895: Qutebrowser CSRF Vulnerability

October 10, 2018 (updated October 16, 2024)

qutebrowser before version 1.4.1 is vulnerable to a cross-site request forgery flaw that allows websites to access qute://* URLs. A malicious website could exploit this to load a qute://settings/set URL, which then sets editor.command to a bash script, resulting in arbitrary code execution.
