Details

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1786132 +++

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:103.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/103.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have this error from terminal and I copy and then paste in the Firefox Search Bar(snap package Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS).
This is the link/string I used:
greenlet.c:538:17: error: %E2%80%98PyThreadState%E2%80%99 {aka %E2%80%98struct _ts%E2%80%99} has no member named %E2%80%98use_tracing%E2%80%99; did you mean %E2%80%98tracing%E2%80%99

Actual results:

What happened is that when I tried to search Ubuntu Software showed up and said "No apps available". This resulted in a possible XSS that if crafted very professionally it could be used to do harm.

Expected results:

It should have treated it like another string to search or a domain.
