Title: Python Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component (Injection) Vulnerability
Overview:

DISPUTED Lib/webbrowser.py in Python through 3.6.3 does not validate strings before launching the program specified by the BROWSER environment variable which might allow remote attackers to conduct argument-injection attacks via a crafted URL. NOTE: a software maintainer indicates that exploitation is impossible because the code relies on subprocess.Popen and the default shellFalse setting.
