CVE-2026-45369
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
python-utcp is the python implementation of UTCP. Prior to 1.1.3, the _substitute_utcp_args method in cli_communication_protocol.py inserts user-controlled tool_args values directly into shell command strings without any sanitization or escaping. These commands are then executed via /bin/bash -c (Unix) or powershell.exe -Command (Windows), allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary shell commands. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.1.3.

"value": "python-utcp es la implementación en Python de UTCP. Previo a la 1.1.3, el método _substitute_utcp_args en cli_communication_protocol.py inserta valores de tool_args controlados por el usuario directamente en cadenas de comandos de shell sin ninguna sanitización ni escape. Estos comandos se ejecutan luego a través de /bin/bash -c (Unix) o powershell.exe -Command (Windows), permitiendo a un atacante inyectar comandos de shell arbitrarios. Esta vulnerabilidad se corrige en la 1.1.3."
