Overview

CVE-2025-52968 is a low-severity vulnerability. It was published on June 23, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 2.7 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 2.7, rated LOW. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

xdg-open in xdg-utils through 1.2.1 can send requests containing SameSite=Strict cookies, which can facilitate CSRF. (For example, xdg-open could be modified to, by default, associate x-scheme-handler/https with the execution of a browser with command-line options that arrange for an empty cookie store, although this would add substantial complexity, and would not be considered a desirable or expected behavior by all users.) NOTE: this is disputed because integrations of xdg-open typically do not provide information about whether the xdg-open command and arguments were manually entered by a user, or whether they were the result of a navigation from content in an untrusted origin.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
