Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.44%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
screenshot-desktop allows capturing a screenshot of your local machine. This vulnerability is a command injection issue. When user-controlled input is passed into the format option of the screenshot function, it is interpolated into a shell command without sanitization. This results in arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the calling process. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.2.
