broulik created this revision.
Restricted Application added a project: Plasma.
Restricted Application added a subscriber: plasma-devel.

REVISION SUMMARY
  We allow HTML in Notifications and QtQuick Text will even load remote images which poses a privacy threat.
  The network access manager factory we install is ineffective as Plasma uses a shared engine nowadays and whenever a new QmlObject shared engine is created, its setupBindings will re-install the KIO access factory.

TEST PLAN
  5.8 branch on Fabian's request as this is a security issue
  
  Can no longer cause network requests by sending a notification with `<img src="http://...">` or `<span style="background: url(http://...)">`.
  
  (Btw I noticed that setupBindings is called >100 times on Plasma startup, setting up the very same QML engine over and over again, including creating a KIO NAM factory, KLocalizedContext and KIcon image provider)

REPOSITORY
  R120 Plasma Workspace
