Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-11-10 00:00 – Updated: 2026-04-08 17:24

Summary

xterm before 375 allows code execution via font ops, e.g., because an OSC 50 response may have Ctrl-g and therefore lead to command execution within the vi line-editing mode of Zsh. NOTE: font ops are not allowed in the xterm default configurations of some Linux distributions.
