USN-8857-1: KCoreAddons vulnerability

Publisher update

The brief

A shell-quoting flaw in KCoreAddons could let hostile input become commands in applications that rely on the affected function. Ubuntu's advisory identifies KShell::quoteArgs and provides an updated package for 26.04 LTS. The described risk depends on an application passing attacker-controlled input through that method, rather than proving every installed application is exploitable.
