- Mitigation guidance
- To mitigate this issue, users should avoid connecting to untrusted X servers. When using SSH, ensure that X11 forwarding (`ssh -X` or `ssh -Y`) is only enabled for trusted remote hosts. To prevent X11 forwarding for specific hosts, add `ForwardX11 no` to the relevant host entry in `~/.ssh/config` or `/etc/ssh/ssh_config`. Alternatively, disable X11 forwarding globally by setting `ForwardX11 no` in `/etc/ssh/ssh_config`.
