Quick fix

PYSEC-2018-27 — qutebrowser: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'qutebrowser>=43e58ac865ff862c2008c510fc5f7627e10b4660'

Details

qutebrowser before version 1.4.1 is vulnerable to a cross-site request forgery flaw that allows websites to access 'qute://*' URLs. A malicious website could exploit this to load a 'qute://settings/set' URL, which then sets 'editor.command' to a bash script, resulting in arbitrary code execution.
