Fix CVE-2023-24816 by removing legacy code....
Fix CVE-2023-24816 by removing legacy code. Remove legacy code that might trigger a CVE. Currently set_term_title is only called with (semi-)trusted input that contain the current working directory of the current IPython session. If an attacker can control directory names, and manage to get a user cd into this directory the attacker can execute arbitrary commands contained in the folder names. Example: - On a windows machine where python is built without _ctypes, create a folder called && echo "pwn" > pwn.txt. This can be done by for example cloning a git repository. - call toggled_set_term_title(True), (or have the preference to true) - Open IPython and cd into this directory. - the folder now contain a pwn.txt, with pwn as content, despite the user not asking for any code execution. Workaround: Set the configuration option c.TerminalInteractiveShell.term_title_format='IPython' (or to any other fixed, safe string).
