CVE-2007-3770
The terminal_helper_execute function in terminal/terminal.c in Xfce Terminal 0.2.6 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a crafted link, as demonstrated using the "Open Link" functionality.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.24%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
