This sounds vaguely familiar. Wasn't iTerm2's SSH integration already the source of a relatively high profile CVE a while back?

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-22275

iTerm2 3.5.6 through 3.5.10 before 3.5.11 sometimes allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from terminal commands by reading the /tmp/framer.txt file. This can occur for certain it2ssh and SSH Integration configurations, during remote logins to hosts that have a common Python installation.

But I thought there was something more…

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47811587 (this page) was in the tmux integration.

Maybe iTerm2 should try a little less hard on these integrations...



Which is why I’m also wary of the ghostty’s integration that is supposed to inject its terminfo when you ssh in.

How about bloody no and working with upstream ncurses to update the terminfo database?
