enlightenmentsys in Enlightenment before 0.25.4 allows local users to gain privileges because it is setuid root, and the system library function mishandles pathnames that begin with a /dev/.. substring.

Terminology before 1.3.1 allows Remote Code Execution because popmedia is mishandled, as demonstrated by an unsafe "cat README.md" command when \e}pn is used. A popmedia control sequence can allow the malicious execution of executable file formats registered in the X desktop share MIME types (/usr/share/applications). The control sequence defers unknown file types to the handleunknownmedia() function, which executes xdg-open against the filename specified in the sequence. The use of xdg-open for all unknown file types allows executable file formats with a registered shared MIME type to be executed. An attacker can achieve remote code execution by introducing an executable file and a plain text file containing the control sequence through a fake software project (e.g., in Git or a tarball). When the control sequence is rendered (such as with cat), the executable file will be run.

Enlightenment before 0.17.6 might allow local users to gain privileges via vectors involving the gdb method.

Terminology 0.7.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via escape sequences that modify the window title and then are written to the terminal, a similar issue to CVE-2003-0063.

An unspecified setuid root helper in Enlightenment before 0.17.6 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging failure to properly sanitize the environment.
