Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions KCoreAddons (affected versions not specified)

Description KCoreAddons incorrectly handles shell argument quoting within the quoteArgs() function of the KShell class. The parsing process fails to adequately manage shell metacharacters, which can result in a shell escape. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands in applications that utilize this method to process user input.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
