8.8 highCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2018-10895
High (8.8) in qutebrowser qutebrowser. EPSS 1.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in qutebrowser 1.4.1.
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.
