CVE-2023-46321 is a critical vulnerability affecting iTerm2 versions prior to 3.5.0beta12, where the iTermSessionLauncher.m component fails to sanitize paths in x-man-page URLs. This allows for the injection of shell metacharacters into /usr/bin/man command lines, leading to arbitrary command execution. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (CRITICAL), it presents a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
