Description

Vulnerability in rand-quote and hitokoto plugins Description: the rand-quote and hitokoto fetch quotes from quotationspage.com and hitokoto.cn respectively, do some process on them and then use print -P to print them. If these quotes contained the proper symbols, they could trigger command injection. Given that they're an external API, it's not possible to know if the quotes are safe to use. Fixed in: 72928432. Impacted areas: - rand-quote plugin (quote function). - hitokoto plugin (hitokoto function).
