Harmless Commands, Harmful Outcomes: How iTerm2's SSH Feature Enables Code Execution

Research reveals that iTerm2's SSH integration feature can exploit terminal escape sequences to enable arbitrary remote code execution, turning everyday commands into potential attack vectors. Users performing innocent operations like viewing remote files could unknowingly trigger malicious code. This vulnerability underscores how terminal-based workflows depend on security assumptions that can be subverted, requiring a critical reassessment of remote access protocols.
