KDE Konqueror for KDE 3.1.2 and earlier does not remove authentication credentials from URLs of the "user:password@host" form in the HTTP-Referer header, which could allow remote web sites to steal the credentials for pages that link to the sites.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older KDE Konqueror versions could leak usernames and passwords embedded in URLs to another website through the HTTP Referer header. The business risk is credential exposure from legacy desktop browsing, not server compromise. Modern exposure is likely limited unless old KDE systems remain in use. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux or Unix desktops still running KDE Konqueror 3.1.2 or earlier. Risk requires credential-bearing URLs and navigation to remote sites from those pages. Treat as a targeted legacy cleanup item. It is important if old KDE desktops exist, because credential leakage can undermine accounts, but it is not presented as a currently exploited internet-scale issue in the supplied sources. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for KDE Konqueror 3.1.2 and earlier.; Apply KDE or distribution security updates from the listed vendor advisories.; Retire unsupported legacy KDE desktop builds where updates are unavailable..
