Sandbox-escaping information disclosure in Yelp (the GNOME help viewer) lets a malicious Flatpak application read arbitrary user-readable files on the host. By using the OpenURI portal to open crafted help content that embeds an untrusted CSS stylesheet inside a structured SVG document, an attacker abuses an overly permissive Content Security Policy supplied by yelp-xsl to force Yelp to evaluate local XML inclusions and exfiltrate file contents via remote CSS resource requests, defeating Flatpak's intended isolation. The flaw was disclosed publicly (GNOME developer blog by Michael Catanzaro, May 2026) and tracked by Red Hat; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
A flaw was found in Yelp. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.4), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
