"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-002294 advisory.

    A flaw was found in the xdg-email component of xdg-utils-1.1.0-rc1 and newer. When handling mailto: URIs,
    xdg-email allows attachments to be discreetly added via the URI when being passed to Thunderbird. An
    attacker could potentially send a victim a URI that automatically attaches a sensitive file to a new
    email. If a victim user does not notice that an attachment was added and sends the email, this could
    result in sensitive information disclosure. It has been confirmed that the code behind this issue is in
    xdg-email and not in Thunderbird.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
