The ruby handlers in the Magnatune component in Amarok do not properly quote text in certain contexts, probably including construction of an unzip command line, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.

Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.39%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
