Example screen shot
Maybe what the reporter means is that it is possible to inject HTML into the error message displayed when a file or folder does not exist, as shown in the screen shot if Dolphin is started with the command line
dolphin "<img src='file:/tmp/kde.png'/><br><H1>HTML Injection</h1>"
However, there is no obvious exploit either remotely or by viewing an exploit file name or file contents, so it is not likely to be a securiry risk.
@sitter: It is a problem because if you close dolphin with alt+f4 the QML injection stays and visually pollutes your dolphin experience.
Not to speak from the nice crashes you can get with `dolphin --new-window $(perl -E "print('A' x 100000)")`
IMO handling of untrusted user input should be improved before you end up with a proper security situation.

Well, you shot yourself in the foot, that is going to hurt any amount of time. > Not to speak from the nice crashes you can get with `dolphin --new-window > $(perl -E "print('A' x 100000)")` If the user wants to shoot themselves in the foot that's their right. > IMO handling of untrusted user input should be improved before you end up > with a proper security situation.
