Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for konsole.

CVE-2025-49091[0]:
| KDE Konsole before 25.04.2 allows remote code execution in a certain
| scenario. It supports loading URLs from the scheme handlers such as
| a ssh:// or telnet:// or rlogin:// URL. This can be executed
| regardless of whether the ssh, telnet, or rlogin binary is
| available. In this mode, there is a code path where if that binary
| is not available, Konsole falls back to using /bin/bash for the
| given arguments (i.e., the URL) provided. This allows an attacker to
| execute arbitrary code.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
