High (8.4) in kde paste applet. EPSS 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
The %{password(...)} macro in pastemacroexpander.cpp in the KDE Paste Applet before 4.10.5 in kdeplasma-addons does not properly generate passwords, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass authentication via a brute-force attack.
