Threats affecting pkg:github/kde/dolphin

KDE Dolphin versions 24.08.0 through 26.08.2 contain an OS command injection vulnerability. This flaw allows attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands by crafting folder names that include special characters, which are substituted into the {path} placeholder. Exploitation occurs when a victim double-clicks the view background in Dolphin, triggering command execution due to improper neutralization of special elements.

KDE Dolphin before 25.12.3 allows applications in a Flatpak (or with AppArmor confinement) to open folders outside of the application sandbox without additional scrutiny. Dolphin's implementation of the FileManager1 protocol allows the path given to be any type of file, including scripts or executables. (By default, Dolphin will then prompt the user to determine if they want to launch a script or executable; however, the intended behavior is to block the attempted action, not present a consent prompt.)
