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
CVE-2026-16022 is an OS command injection vulnerability in @oblique/cli version 15.4.0. The vulnerability arises because the CLI constructs shell commands using string concatenation and executes them with execSync(), inserting a user-controlled project name without proper sanitization. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands by supplying a crafted project name when invoking the CLI.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
@oblique/cli version 15.4.0 contains an OS command injection vulnerability classified as CWE-78. The issue occurs in the project creation functionality where shell commands are constructed via string concatenation and executed with execSync(). The project-name argument, controlled by the user, is inserted directly into the shell command without neutralizing special shell metacharacters. This flaw enables an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands by providing a specially crafted project name when running the CLI.
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 (C:H/I:H/A:H).
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, avoid running the vulnerable version 15.4.0 of @oblique/cli or do not use untrusted input for the project-name argument. Consider manual sanitization or validation of input to prevent injection if usage cannot be avoided.
