An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-27748 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: xdg-utils. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-27748/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-27748/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-27748","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-27748/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-27748","record":{"aliases":["AZL-37062","AZL-7424","DEBIAN-CVE-2020-27748","GHSA-3c8x-jg6w-85xx","MGASA-2020-0446","OESA-2021-1228","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2020-27748","UBUNTU-CVE-2020-27748","USN-4649-1","USN-4649-2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux desktop utilities","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can craft mailto URIs to silently attach sensitive files to emails in Thunderbird, leading to data disclosure if the user sends the email.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"xdg-utils","vendor":"freedesktop"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-201","name":"Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data"}],"description":"A flaw was found in the xdg-email component of xdg-utils-1.1.0-rc1 and newer. When handling mailto: URIs, xdg-email allows attachments to be discreetly added via the URI when being passed to Thunderbird. An attacker could potentially send a victim a URI that automatically attaches a sensitive file to a new email. If a victim user does not notice that an attachment was added and sends the email, this could result in sensitive information disclosure.
