DescriptionNVD

Tabby (formerly Terminus) is a highly configurable terminal emulator. Prior to 1.0.233, since Tabby does not escape control characters from file paths when dragging and dropping a file into it, code execution can be achieved. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.0.233.

AnalysisAI

Local code execution in Tabby terminal emulator versions before 1.0.233 occurs when dragging and dropping files containing control characters in their paths. The terminal fails to properly escape control sequences, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands through crafted filenames when a user drags a malicious file into the terminal window.
