- Guake is a drop-down terminal for GNOME. The package guake before 3.8.5 is vulnerable to Exposed Dangerous Method or Function due to the exposure of executecommand and executecommandbyuuid methods via the d-bus interface, which makes it possible for a malicious user to run an arbitrary command via the d-bus method. Note: Exploitation requires the user to have installed another malicious program that will be able to send dbus signals or run terminal commands.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 3.8.5 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
