{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2025-52968","details":"xdg-open in xdg-utils through 1.2.1 can send requests containing SameSite=Strict cookies, which can facilitate CSRF. (For example, xdg-open could be modified to, by default, associate x-scheme-handler/https with the execution of a browser with command-line options that arrange for an empty cookie store, although this would add substantial complexity, and would not be considered a desirable or expected behavior by all users.) NOTE: this is disputed because integrations of xdg-open typically do not provide information about whether the xdg-open command and arguments were manually entered by a user, or whether they were the result of a navigation from content in an untrusted origin.","modified":"2026-05-20T16:23:34.556493705Z","published":"2025-06-23T15:15:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-52968"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2025-52968"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-52968"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2025/06/23/1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"xdg-utils","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xdg-utils?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.1.0~rc3+git20150907-1ubuntu2","1.1.0~rc3+git20150907-1ubuntu3","1.1.1-1ubuntu1","1.1.1-1ubuntu1.16.04.1","1.1.1-1ubuntu1.16.04.3","1.1.1-1ubuntu1.16.04.4","1.1.1-1ubuntu1.16.04.5"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"xdg-utils","binary_version":"1.1.1-1ubuntu1.16.04.5"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-52968.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xdg-utils","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xdg-utils?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.1.1-1ubuntu2","1.1.1-1ubuntu3","1.1.2-1ubuntu1","1.1.2-1ubuntu2","1.1.2-1ubuntu2.2","1.1.2-1ubuntu2.3","1.1.2-1ubuntu2.4","1.1.2-1ubuntu2.5"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.1.2-1ubuntu2.5","binary_name":"xdg-utils"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-52968.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xdg-utils","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xdg-utils?arch=source&distro=focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.1.3-1ubuntu2","1.1.3-2ubuntu1","1.1.3-2ubuntu1.20.04.1","1.1.3-2ubuntu1.20.04.2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"xdg-utils","binary_version":"1.1.3-2ubuntu1.20.04.2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-52968.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xdg-utils","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xdg-utils?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.1.3-2ubuntu2","1.1.3-4.1ubuntu1","1.1.3-4.1ubuntu1.22.04.1","1.1.3-4.1ubuntu3~22.04.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"xdg-utils","binary_version":"1.1.3-4.1ubuntu3~22.04.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-52968.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xdg-utils","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xdg-utils?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.1.3-4.1ubuntu3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.1.3-4.1ubuntu3","binary_name":"xdg-utils"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-52968.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xdg-utils","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xdg-utils?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.2.1-2ubuntu1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"xdg-utils","binary_version":"1.2.1-2ubuntu1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-52968.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xdg-utils","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xdg-utils?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.2.1-2ubuntu1","1.2.1-2ubuntu2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.2.1-2ubuntu2","binary_name":"xdg-utils"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-52968.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
