Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for ktexteditor.

CVE-2022-23853[0]:
| The LSP (Language Server Protocol) plugin in KDE Kate before 21.12.2
| and KTextEditor before 5.91.0 tries to execute the associated LSP
| server binary when opening a file of a given type. If this binary is
| absent from the PATH, it will try running the LSP server binary in the
| directory of the file that was just opened (due to a misunderstanding
| of the QProcess API, that was never intended). This can be an
| untrusted directory.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
