SUMMARY
Randomly while using my PC, as the only linux user in my home, xembedsniproxy
requested full remote control of my system.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Just use your system normally.
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Malware attempted to hijack my system.

EXPECTED RESULT
Not to be hacked by my DE of choice.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Whatever the latest plasma 6 package versions are on Arch linux.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I had to spend 5 hours repairing my filesystem because I removed power from the
machine the moment this scary message appeared on my machine. I have since
removed the offending binary from my system, and relinked the systemd service
to /dev/null.
