CVE-2020-24972
The Kleopatra component before 3.1.12 (and before 20.07.80) for GnuPG allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code because openpgp4fpr: URLs are supported without safe handling of command-line options.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.76%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
