CVE-2026-16022: CWE-78 Improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command ('OS command injection') in Swiss Federal Office of Information Technology, Systems and Telecommunication @oblique/cli
@oblique/cli 15.4.0 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the project creation functionality. The CLI constructs shell commands through string concatenation and executes them with execSync(). A user-controlled project-name argument is inserted into the shell command without proper neutralization, allowing shell metacharacters to execute additional operating-system commands when the CLI is invoked with a crafted project name.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-16022 is an OS command injection vulnerability in @oblique/cli 15.4.0. The vulnerability arises because the CLI constructs shell commands by concatenating strings and executes them using execSync(). The project-name argument, which is user-controlled, is inserted into the shell command without proper neutralization of shell metacharacters. This flaw enables an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary OS commands when invoking the CLI with a specially crafted project name.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the CLI. This can result in full compromise of the affected system, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts as indicated by the CVSS vector (Confidentiality: High, Integrity: High, Availability: High).
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, avoid using untrusted input for the project-name argument or invoking the vulnerable CLI version. Consider applying input validation or sanitization as a temporary mitigation if feasible.
