**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** xdg-open (affected versions not specified) **Description** The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a file with a dangerous MIME type, but using a safe type that Firefox sends to xdg-open. This causes xdg-open to process the dangerous file type through automatic type detection, as demonstrated by overwriting the .desktop file. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
