CVE-2026-55743
No affected components available
The shell tool command allowlist in the SecurityPolicy of OpenHuman desktop agent through 0.54.0 (default Supervised security policy) can be bypassed to execute arbitrary OS commands with the privileges of the desktop user. Two flaws in src/openhuman/security/policy.rs combine: (1) is_args_safe() blocks the find flags -exec and -ok but not the functionally identical -execdir and -okdir, which also execute an arbitrary command for each matched file; and (2) skip_env_assignments() strips leading inline KEY=value environment-variable assignments before allowlist validation, so a command such as GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=<cmd> git diff is validated as the allowed git diff but, when executed via the shell, runs <cmd> through git's environment-driven hooks (for example GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF or GIT_SSH_COMMAND). Because the sandbox is the primary trust boundary between untrusted LLM-processed content and the host operating system, an attacker can achieve remote code execution via indirect prompt injection: a malicious document, email, calendar event, or web page ingested by the agent instructs it to run a benign-looking allowlisted command, resulting in arbitrary command execution, data exfiltration, arbitrary file read/write, and lateral movement on the user's machine. The issue was fixed in commit 60050aa09a870f53ed7e4cd40ed41fd2860329e7 (first released in 0.54.22-staging; first stable release 0.56.0), which blocks -execdir/-okdir for find.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker does not need any special privileges or access rights.
Exploitation activity has been observed. Apply available patches or mitigations urgently.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
