Kitty terminal command injection via unsanitized OSC 21 query reply

Vulnerability Overview Vulnerability Name: Command injection via unsanitized OSC 21 query reply Vulnerability Description: kitty's OSC 21 (color control) query reply reflects attacker-controlled bytes, including newline characters, which are written directly into the shell's input without sanitization. Vulnerability Details: The function reflects unknown query keys in its reply without filtering. The reply is written directly to a subprocess (the shell's input) without sanitization. The OSC parser does not treat newline characters as terminators, so they remain in the reply. Newline characters are written back into the shell's input, causing the newline to be submitted and subsequent shell commands to be executed. Impact Scope Affected Versions: <= 0.47.2 Fixed Version: 0.47.3 CVSS Score: 7.3 / 10 Attack Vector: Local Attack Complexity: Low Attack Requirements: Present Required Privileges: None User Interaction: Passive Confidentiality Impact: High Integrity Impact: High Availability Impact: High Remediation Fixed Version: Upgrade to version 0.47.3 or higher.
