CVE-2023-28101 (GCVE-0-2023-28101)

Summary
Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux. In versions prior to 1.10.8, 1.12.8, 1.14.4, and 1.15.4, if an attacker publishes a Flatpak app with elevated permissions, they can hide those permissions from users of the `flatpak(1)` command-line interface by setting other permissions to crafted values that contain non-printable control characters such as `ESC`. A fix is available in versions 1.10.8, 1.12.8, 1.14.4, and 1.15.4. As a workaround, use a GUI like GNOME Software rather than the command-line interface, or only install apps whose maintainers you trust.

In versions prior to 1.10.8, 1.12.8, 1.14.4, and 1.15.4, if an attacker publishes a Flatpak app with elevated permissions, they can hide those permissions from users of the `flatpak(1)` command-line interface by setting other permissions to crafted values that contain non-printable control characters such as `ESC`. A fix is available in versions 1.10.8, 1.12.8, 1.14.4, and 1.15.4. As a workaround, use a GUI like GNOME Software rather than the command-line interface, or only install apps whose maintainers you trust.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N\",\"baseScore\":5.0,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"CHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"LOW\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"NONE\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":3.1,\"impactScore\":1.4},{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N\",\"baseScore\":4.3,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"LOW\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"NONE\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":2.8,\"impactScore\":1.4}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-116\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:flatpak:flatpak:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"1.10.8\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"D7C3C072-DE21-4063-A561-44CA1E5AE584\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:flatpak:flatpak:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"1.12.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"1.12.8\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"3572AF68-883F-44B3-95F8-5062ED29D5F9\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:flatpak:flatpak:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"1.14.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"1.14.4\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"50573059-1A6E-40DA-9D68-9D054DCC71BE\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:flatpak:flatpak:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"1.15.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"1.15.4\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"02CAAC00-232B-45A2-86ED-1EE9DC1F0128\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/commit/409e34187de2b2b2c4ef34c79f417be698830f6c\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/commit/6cac99dafe6003c8a4bd5666341c217876536869\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/commit/7fe63f2e8f1fd2dafc31d45154cf0b191ebec66c\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/security/advisories/GHSA-h43h-fwqx-mpp8\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\",\"Vendor Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202312-12\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\"},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/commit/409e34187de2b2b2c4ef34c79f417be698830f6c\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/commit/6cac99dafe6003c8a4bd5666341c217876536869\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/commit/7fe63f2e8f1fd2dafc31d45154cf0b191ebec66c\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/security/advisories/GHSA-h43h-fwqx-mpp8\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\",\"Vendor Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202312-12\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"}]}}",
