- Severity: CVSS 2.4 (Low), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:L/SA:N

## Affected

- dalance procs: through 0.14.12

## Description

procs through 0.14.12 fails to sanitize escape sequences in process command lines before displaying them in the Command column. Local attackers can execute processes with malicious ANSI or OSC escape sequences in their command line arguments, which are written unmodified to other users' terminals for interpretation by terminal emulators.
