CVE-2022-41322 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting Kitty terminal versions prior to 0.26.2, including those in Fedora. It allows for arbitrary code execution due to insufficient validation of desktop notification escape sequences. An attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into displaying malicious content in the terminal and then clicking on a resulting notification popup, leading to high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no public exploit code or active exploitation has been observed, there is some community discussion and media coverage indicating awareness of the vulnerability.
