    "title": "Livebook Desktop's protocol handler can be exploited to execute arbitrary command on Windows",
    "summary": "Livebook is a web application for writing interactive and collaborative code notebooks. On Windows, it is possible to open a `livebook://` link from a browser which opens Livebook Desktop and triggers arbitrary code execution on victim's machine.
