CVE-2019-12761 is fixed in 2 products on 1 platform, first by python-xdg 0.25-4ubuntu1.1, released June 6, 2019. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
A code injection issue was discovered in PyXDG before 0.26 via crafted Python code in a Category element of a Menu XML document in a .menu file. XDG_CONFIG_DIRS must be set up to trigger xdg.Menu.parse parsing within the directory containing this file. This is due to a lack of sanitization in xdg/Menu.py before an eval call.
