Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for xdg-utils.

CVE-2022-4055[0]:
| When xdg-mail is configured to use thunderbird for mailto URLs,
| improper parsing of the URL can lead to additional headers being
| passed to thunderbird that should not be included per RFC 2368. An
| attacker can use this method to create a mailto URL that looks safe to
| users, but will actually attach files when clicked.
