CVE-2017-6410 describes a sensitive information disclosure vulnerability in KDE kio before 5.32 and kdelibs before 4.14.30. The vulnerability arises when the PAC FindProxyForURL function is called with a full HTTPS URL, potentially exposing Basic Authentication credentials, query strings, or PATH_INFO to a crafted PAC file. This medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.5) has a low attack complexity and requires user interaction, leading to a high confidentiality impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
