An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. macOS before 10.13.4 is affected. The issue involves the Bracketed Paste Mode of the Terminal component. It allows user-assisted attackers to inject arbitrary commands within pasted content.

Weakness

The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
