Technical details
The vulnerability is an OS command injection in Dolphin's double-click custom command handler (slotDoubleClickViewBackground). The folder path is inserted into a shell command string by wrapping it only in double quotes, without shell escaping. An attacker creates a directory name containing shell metacharacters such as semicolons and quotes to break out of the quoted argument and inject commands that execute when a victim double-clicks the view background.
