Summary

KDE Dolphin from 24.08.0 through 26.08.2 is affected. Folder names substituted into the {path} placeholder are not quoted safely in slotDoubleClickViewBackground, an OS command injection flaw (CWE-78). A local attacker with no privileges can run shell commands by naming a folder with a double quote and shell metacharacters, which execute when a victim double-clicks the view background.
