DescriptionCVE.org

gdu fails to strip terminal escape sequences from directory and file names when printing paths after TUI exit. Attackers can craft malicious directory or file names containing escape sequences that are interpreted by the terminal, enabling title spoofing, clipboard manipulation, or other terminal-dependent effects.

AnalysisAI

Terminal injection in gdu, a Go-based disk usage analyzer, allows ANSI escape sequences embedded in crafted filenames or directory names to reach the terminal emulator unfiltered after the TUI exits. Any operator who runs gdu against attacker-controlled filesystem paths — shared mounts, downloaded archives, or untrusted repositories — may have their terminal manipulated through clipboard hijacking (OSC 52), window title spoofing, or other escape-sequence-dependent effects. …
