It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-43929 exists.\n\nAffected product: kitty. 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-2025-43929/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43929/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-43929","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43929/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-43929","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2025-43929","GHSA-cch3-2vm3-v73j","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-43929"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"kitty terminal emulator","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute local binaries without user confirmation via linked documents in kitty, bypassing security prompts.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"kitty","vendor":"kovidgoyal"}],"cvss":{"score":4.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-346","name":"Origin Validation Error"}],"description":"open_actions.py in kitty before 0.41.0 does not ask for user confirmation before running a local executable file that may have been linked from an untrusted document (e.g., a document opened in KDE ghostwriter).","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2025-04-20","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-04-20T03:19:51Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/0xBenCantCode/CVE-2025-43929","stars":0,"title":"High severity vulnerability in KiTTY allowing for local executables to be ran without user confirmation under certain circumstances."}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Security feature bypass in kitty","id":"CVE-2025-43929","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Hashview 0.8.1 allows account takeover via the password reset feature because SERVER_NAME is not configured and thus a reset depends on the Host HTTP header.","id":"CVE-2025-43930"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in Media Relay Service","id":"CVE-2025-43928"},"products":["kitty"],"published":"2025-04-20","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Kitty has a Heap Buffer Over-Read/Write via Integer Overflow in compose_rectangles Bounds Check","id":"CVE-2026-33642","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-19"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"@kitty-edit DCS + --color=geninclude vulnerable to Unauthenticated in-process RCE","id":"CVE-2026-42851","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-12"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"Kitty has an arbitrary file overwrite via symlink following in `kitten dnd` remote drop staging","id":"CVE-2026-54056","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-12"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Kitty has a Heap Buffer Overflow in its Graphics Protocol Handler","id":"CVE-2026-33633","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-19"},{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"Kitty has a shell command injection","id":"CVE-2026-42850","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-12"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Kitty vulnerable to command injection via unsanitized OSC 21 query reply","id":"CVE-2026-54057","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-12"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Kitty has an Arbitrary File Write via Symlink Race Condition in File Transmission Protocol","id":"CVE-2026-54055","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-12"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-21","vendors":["kitty project"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute local binaries without user confirmation via linked documents in kitty, bypassing security prompts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43929/"}
