kitty: Kitty is a cross-platform GPU based terminal
CVE-2026-72913 is fixed in kitty on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72913 (version 0.48.2-1), released August 11, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
Kitty is a cross-platform GPU based terminal. Prior to 0.48.2, the @kitty-echo and @kitty-ssh DCS handlers in kitty/window.py write unauthenticated data to the child shell's stdin, where handle_remote_echo accepts printable shell command characters and handle_remote_ssh calls get_ssh_data in kittens/ssh/utils.py, which emits a newline; chaining the handlers can execute attacker-controlled commands when a user displays untrusted terminal data. This issue is fixed in version 0.48.2.
