Description:   Opened: 2008-04-29 19:51 0000 
wterm is vulnerable to the same X11 Display issue as rxvt,

"The security issue is caused due to the program using ":0" as it's X11 display
if the DISPLAY environment variable is missing. This can be exploited to
execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user running rxvt via a
malicious X server."
