Description Sandipan Roy 2023-09-15 07:26:43 UTC 
GNOME Maps is vulnerable to a code injection attack (similar to XSS) 
via its service.json configuration file downloaded from 
https://static.gnome.org/gis.gnome.org/v1/service.json. If the 
configuration file is malicious, it may execute arbitrary code.

Affected versions: 43 prior to 43.7, 44 prior to 44.4
