# television: crafted entry input causes command injection locally

Television, a terminal fuzzy finder, builds a shell command from entry data in Entry::output without safe handling. A local user who can supply crafted entry text can get extra commands run.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed version with `tv --version`; versions up to `0.15.9` are listed as affected.
- Confirm whether the project's GitHub issue was closed as not planned, so no upstream fix is expected.
