A flaw was found in Flatpak, a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux. Suppose an attacker publishes a Flatpak app with elevated permissions. In that case, they can hide those permissions from users of the flatpak(1)
command-line interface by setting other permissions to crafted values that contain non-printable control characters such as ESC.
Use a GUI like GNOME Software rather than the command-line interface, or only install apps whose maintainers you trust.
