Package: openshot-qt
Version: 2.5.1+dfsg1-1
Tags: security

Dear Maintainer,
the openshot-qt package has mailcap entries with quoted %-escapes. That is 
considered unsafe. Proper escaping should be left to the programs using the 
entry.

This Lintian tag is triggered:
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/quoted-placeholder-in-mailcap-entry.html

See also grave bug #930908, which was recently closed because "a Lintian test 
already exists":
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=930908

I'm using the "security" tag because the affected rules in combination with 
certain mail user agents (or document openers) are the cause of a shell command 
injection vulnerability.

/usr/lib/mime/packages/openshot-qt should be changed from:

 application/vnd.openshot-qt-project; /usr/bin/openshot-qt '%s'; test=test -n 
"$DISPLAY"; priority=5

to:

 application/vnd.openshot-qt-project; /usr/bin/openshot-qt %s; test=test -n 
"$DISPLAY"; priority=5

If you need more information let me know.

Thanks,
MNZ
