CVE-2026-55061
Published:August 17, 2026
Updated:August 27, 2026
The uniget CLI has a command injection vulnerability in "hooks.go" (vscode-file://vscode-app/app/extra/vscode/resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-browser/workbench/workbench.html) line 199 where "strings.Split(editor, " ")" (vscode-file://vscode-app/app/extra/vscode/resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-browser/workbench/workbench.html) naively parses the EDITOR environment variable without respecting shell syntax. An attacker can set EDITOR="/path/to/wrapper && id && echo" which gets split into separate arguments, allowing the wrapper script to execute arbitrary commands like id. This was successfully exploited to execute uid=1000(w4nn4d13), confirming code execution is possible. The vulnerability affects hook editing and breaks configurations with modern editors like VSCode. Vulnerable Code: Location Context: Issue: Naive space-splitting allows injection. EDITOR="script && id && echo" splits into ["script", "&&", "id", "&&", "echo"] enabling command execution.
