Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/14993

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Does two things related to URLs emitted via OSC8.

  • Allows wsl$ and wsl.localhost as the hostname in file:// URIs
  • Generally allows all URIs that parse as a URI.

The relevant security comments: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/7526#issuecomment-764160208

this doesn't let a would-be attacker specify command-line arguments (ala "cmd.exe /s /c do_a_bad_thing") (using somebody else's reputation to cause mayhem)

ShellExecute de-elevates because it bounces a launch request off the shell

"Works predictably for 15% of applications" (h/t to PhMajerus' AXSH, and other on-Windows requestors) is better in so many ways than "Works for 0% of applications", in my estimation. Incremental progress 😄 while we work on features that'll make it even more broadly applicable.

Closes #10188
Closes #7562
