--- Comment #4 from Egmont Koblinger <egm...@gmail.com> --- Some security implications were discussed in the comments section of the gist page. In my opinion, so far the only valid concern was raised in https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda#gistcomment-2404153. As for your hypothetical example with mutt: Without mutt supporting explicit hyperlinks, there's nothing that would change just by the terminal emulator adding support. If mutt adds support too, then you _might_ claim it becomes mutt's responsibility to filter these out or warn the user, just as much as you _might_ claim that it's the responsibility of any GUI or web-based e-mail client capable of handling HTML e-mail. I'm wondering: is it really theirs? And then what about regular webpages having such malicious URLs (maybe displayed inside a terminal emulator, in a text based browser), aren't these a problem? As a rule of thumb, I believe that as long as we add something to the terminal emulator which is already there in browsers, there's no (new) hole opened up. I don't get your phishing or xdg-open references either, you'd need to provide more concrete examples. If you have any worries about the feature (irrelevant to Konsole in particular), I'd be glad if you raised them for discussion on the gist page. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
