Description

Hanterm-xf contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is triggered when a user inadvertantly opens up a text file containing commands and malformed escape charaters, as a result this could modify the Windows title and result in the commands being added in the command line of the terminal windows where they could be executed if the user presses Enter.
