SUMMARY Randomly while using my PC, as the only linux user in my home, xembedsniproxy requested full remote control of my system. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Just use your system normally. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Malware attempted to hijack my system. EXPECTED RESULT Not to be hacked by my DE of choice. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Whatever the latest plasma 6 package versions are on Arch linux. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I had to spend 5 hours repairing my filesystem because I removed power from the machine the moment this scary message appeared on my machine. I have since removed the offending binary from my system, and relinked the systemd service to /dev/null.
Not malware; just an unfortunate interaction of two components that weren't talking to each other in the past but now do, with results that unfortunately look scary but are actually benign. You can grant the access without worry. And this UI issue is fixed in Plasma 6.3.0.

Good to know it wasn't intentional malware, but I still don't feel safe granting anyone else but myself full remote access over my PC, I will keep this binary purged of all my systems, but thank you for the information
