In Python (aka CPython) up to 3.10.8, the mailcap module does not add
escape characters into commands discovered in the system mailcap file. This
may allow attackers to inject shell commands into applications that call
mailcap.findmatch with untrusted input (if they lack validation of
user-provided filenames or arguments). The fix is also back-ported to 3.7,
3.8, 3.9
