Command Execution via Drag-and-Drop in Terminal Emulators
CybersecurityVulnerabilitiesTerminalEmulatorsCodeExecution
A security researcher demonstrated that certain terminal emulators execute commands when files or text are dragged and dropped into them. The vulnerability arises from how terminal emulators interpret dropped content, potentially allowing unintended code execution. The issue affects multiple popular terminal applications. Details are documented in an external write-up linked in the post.
