AppImage libappimage before 1.0.3 allows attackers to trigger an overwrite of a system-installed .desktop file by providing a .desktop file that contains Name= with path components.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.92%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
