Not even that, it's not a problem at all. They're just saying that when you open a terminal program you get access to the shell. That is exactly the point of a terminal program. It's a bit like "exclusive, shocking report: water is wet!"

I mean, I guess part of the joke is if an attacker can get into your computer they can do nefarious things, but that's not as funny.

    Only tangentially related, but this reminds me of an interaction I had here on Lemmy. I was talking about my pure bash, brain-made CLI app that pushes files between Google Compute head nodes and Google Storage buckets, but does some additional fuckery with bash strings to serve as a crude git. Basically, the app manipulates a string that represents a bucket, and then uses the appropriate gcloud command with that string.

    Someone was extremely concerned about the security of my app, how I should do an AI code review, and that only good programmers use all the tools available to them. I told them that I only want my code to be reviewed by humans. They said it was wild that someone would decline a security review. I told them that if there's a security issue with my app, they'll have to take it up with Google.

    The article says it's a one click exploit, but I'm finding I need to make two quick clicks to enter into the program. Can someone help me?? Am I doing something wrong?

    I've spent all day trying to update my software to get this to work!!!
