CVE-2023-1350 Remote code execution on feed enrichment
If you have enabled “Extract full content from HTML5 and Google AMP” for one or more of your feed subscriptions it is possible for a an attacker to inject a script command that would run any command on your system.
Upgrading to 1.14.1 solves this security problem.
If you cannot upgrade disable “Extract full content from HTML5 and Google AMP” for all of you feeds. This can be done in the feed properties dialog,
If you have many feeds you might want to do this automatically:
- Close Liferea
- Open
~/.config/liferea/feedlist.opml
in an editor - Replace all occurences of
html5Extract="true"
with an empty string
