Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-04-17 18:03:44 UTC
Description:
"An issue was discovered in KDE KMail before 19.12.3. By using the proprietary (non-RFC6068) "mailto?attach=..." parameter, a website (or other source of mailto links) can make KMail attach local files to a composed email message without showing a warning to the user, as demonstrated by an attach=.bash_history value."

kde proj has nothing to do here, I guess.
