In KDE KCoreAddons before 6.25, KShell::quoteArgs is intended to safely quote arguments so that they can be passed to a shell command. This parsing does not adequately handle metacharacters, leading to an escape from the shell. All applications relying on this method in a security-critical path to handle user input are affected and could be exploited. In particular, because sendInput() sends a string to a terminal, a control character such as \x01 can be used during injection.
AnalysisAI
KDE KCoreAddons before version 6.25 contains an improper neutralization of special elements vulnerability in the KShell::quoteArgs() function that fails to safely escape metacharacters and control characters, allowing local attackers with user interaction to inject arbitrary shell commands or terminal control sequences when user input is passed to shell execution contexts. Applications using this method to quote arguments for security-critical operations are affected; exploitation requires local access and user interaction but can achieve arbitrary code execution with user privileges.
