NewStart CGSL MAIN 7.02 : xdg-utils Vulnerability (NS-SA-2025-0195)

high Nessus Plugin ID 242709

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has xdg-utils packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

 - When xdg-mail is configured to use thunderbird for mailto URLs, improper parsing of the URL can lead to additional headers being passed to thunderbird that should not be included per RFC 2368. An attacker can use this method to create a mailto URL that looks safe to users, but will actually attach files when clicked. (CVE-2022-4055)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL xdg-utils packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
