*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Binary package hint: centerim

"** DISPUTED ** CenterIM 4.22.3 and earlier allows user-assisted remote
attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a
URI, related to "received URLs in the message window." NOTE: this issue
has been disputed due to the user-assisted nature, since the URL must be
selected and launched by the victim."

It's still not good, even though it's user-assisted.
