Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ibus versions prior to 1.5.22

Description A flaw in ibus allows any unprivileged user to monitor and send method calls to the ibus bus of another user due to a misconfiguration in the DBus server setup. This issue can be exploited by a local attacker to intercept keystrokes of a victim user, change the input method engine, or modify other input-related configurations. The vulnerability is related to a lack of authorization when the DBus server is misconfigured.

Recommendations For ibus versions prior to 1.5.22, update to version 1.5.22 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the DBus server to minimize the risk of exploitation.
