# CVE-2025-52968

## Summary

- **CVE ID:** CVE-2025-52968
- **Severity:** LOW
- **CVSS Score:** 2.7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N)
- **CWE:** CWE-420
- **Published:** Jun 23, 2025
- **Last Modified:** Mar 13, 2026

## 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.
