CVE-2026-31246: n/a
GPT-Pilot thru commit 0819827ce20346ef5f25b3fe29293cb448840565 (2025-09-03) contains a command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in the Executor.run() method. During project execution, when the system prompts the user to confirm or modify a command to be run, it accepts free-text input without proper validation. The user-supplied input is directly passed to asyncio.create_subprocess_shell() for execution. This allows an attacker to replace the intended command with arbitrary shell commands, leading to remote code execution with the privileges of the GPT-Pilot process.

Technical Summary
GPT-Pilot through commit 0819827ce20346ef5f25b3fe29293cb448840565 (dated 2025-09-03) contains a command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in the Executor.run() method. When the system prompts the user to confirm or modify a command, it accepts free-text input without proper validation and directly passes this input to asyncio.create_subprocess_shell() for execution. This flaw allows an attacker to replace the intended command with arbitrary shell commands, resulting in remote code execution with the privileges of the GPT-Pilot process. The vulnerability is publicly known as CVE-2026-31246 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (medium severity). No patch or official remediation guidance is currently provided.
Potential Impact
An attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands remotely with the same privileges as the GPT-Pilot process. This could lead to unauthorized command execution and potential compromise of the system running GPT-Pilot. The impact is limited to the confidentiality and integrity of the affected system, with no direct availability impact noted.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, avoid running untrusted commands through GPT-Pilot's Executor.run() method or restrict access to the system to trusted users only. Monitor for updates from the vendor or project maintainers regarding patches or mitigations.
