- Flatpak metadata with ANSI control codes can cause misleading terminal output
- Details
-
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 asESC. 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. - Database specific
