![]() The best I could come up with was to use the Meta key. I wanted this in tmux natively, but found that it didn’t have a way to recognize the Cmd key. With tmux you need, and since is usually two keys, it’s effectively 3 keys. The tab strip in iTerm2 has tab numbers so it’s easy to hop to. I can probably come up with key chord to condense prefix+[ and ? to a single chord, but iTerm2 is still easier. Right now to do this in Tmux I hit prefix+[, then ? to search upwards, then visually highlight my selection to copy. ITerm2 mouseless copy, where you hit Tab while searching for a term, and the search term expands, then you can copy the term easily. With plain tmux, you can enable tmux mouse support and this lets you drag to resize panes, but you can’t do that to reorder windows, you’ll need to use a command for that. Seamless integration with iTerm2 tabs and panes means using mouse to easily drag and rearrange stuff. This integration even works for running tmux onto a host that I ssh to! I tried this workflow out for a couple of weeks, and eventually decided to switch back (to using a single iTerm2 window, ssh, and start tmux on my ssh destination). ![]() This means that tmux panes become iTerm2 panes, and tmux windows become iTerm2 tabs. Visit the Mozilla blog for more details about the vulnerability.I recently tried out iTerm2 (mostly for its integration for URLs, but it has a ton of other features). Impressive work, Nachman.”Īnother user says, “Thank you, Mozilla. The only thing that changed was that iTerm got more secure. Users have appreciated both Mozilla and the iTerm2 team for the security update.Ī user commented on Hacker News, “I checked for update, installed and relaunched… and found that all my tabs were exactly as they were before, including my tab that had an ssh tunnel running. The CERT Coordination Center has pointed out that since the tmux integration cannot be disabled through configuration, the complete resolution to this vulnerability is not yet available. Nachman says that this is a serious vulnerability because “in some circumstances, it could allow an attacker to execute commands on your machine when you view a file or otherwise receive input they have crafted in iTerm2.” He also strongly recommended all the users to upgrade their iTerm2 to the latest 3.3.6 version. We expect the community will find many more creative examples.” Tom Ritter of Mozilla says, “Example attack vectors for this would be connecting to an attacker-controlled SSH server or commands like curl and tail -f /var/log/apache2/referer_log. Radically Open Security (ROS), the firm that conducted the audit, has ascertained that this vulnerability was present in iTerm2 for the last 7 years.Īn attacker can exploit this vulnerability ( CVE-2019-9535) by producing a malicious output to the terminal using commands on the targeted user’s computer or by remotely executing arbitrary commands with the privileges of the targeted user. Another major reason was the iTerm2’s processing of untrusted data.

Mozilla and the iTerm2’s developer George Nachman have together developed and released a patch for the vulnerability in the iTerm2 version 3.3.6. The security vulnerability was found by a sponsored security audit conducted by the Mozilla Open Source Support Program (MOSS) which delivers security audits for open source technologies. ![]() Yesterday, Mozilla announced that a critical security vulnerability is present in the terminal multiplexer (tmux) integration feature in all the versions of iTerm2, the GPL-licensed terminal emulator for macOS. ![]()
