  • Monitor for OS command injection via the `source` argument in liferea's Feed Enrichment component — specifically pipe-prefixed payloads (e.g. starting with '|') passed to update_job_run() in src/update.c.
  • Alert on creation of unexpected files under /tmp/ by the liferea process, as the proof-of-concept payload redirects command output to /tmp/bad-item-link.txt.
  • ·Debian bullseye remains unpatched (open); only bookworm, forky, sid, and trixie have resolved the issue at version 1.14.1-1.
