Descriptions
iTerm2 3.x before 3.1.1 allows remote attackers to discover passwords by reading DNS queries. A new (default) feature was added to iTerm2 version 3.0.0 (and unreleased 2.9.x versions such as 2.9.20150717) that resulted in a potential information disclosure. In an attempt to see whether the text under the cursor (or selected text) was a URL, the text would be sent as an unencrypted DNS query. This has the potential to result in passwords and other sensitive information being sent in cleartext without the user being aware.
Las versiones 3.x de iTerm anteriores a 3.1.1 permiten que atacantes remotos descubran contraseñas mediante la lectura de consultas DNS. Se añadió una nueva función (por defecto) en la versión 3.0.0 (y versiones 2.9.x no lanzadas como la 2.9.20150717) que resultó en una potencial divulgación de información. Para intentar ver si el texto bajo el cursor (o el texto seleccionado) es una URL, el texto tendría que ser enviado como consulta DNS sin codificar. Esto podría provocar que las contraseñas y otro tipo de información sensible sean enviadas en texto claro sin que el usuario sea consciente de ello.
