Security fixes:

  * Don't allow an executable name to be misinterpreted as a command-line
    option for bwrap(1). This prevents a sandbox escape where a malicious
    or compromised app could ask xdg-desktop-portal to generate a .desktop
    file with access to files outside the sandbox. (CVE-2024-32462)

Other bug fixes:

  * Don't parse <developer><name/></developer> as the application name
    (#5700)
