+https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2017-12904
+

+
+https://github.com/akrennmair/newsbeuter/commit/96e9506ae9e252c548665152d1b8968297128307
+
+Description: Fix a RCE vulnerability in the bookmark command
+ Newsbeuter didn't properly escape the title and description fields before
+ passing them to the bookmarking program which could lead to remote code
+ execution using the shells command substitution functionality (e.g. "$()", ``,
+ etc)
