Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: EvoMap
Product: evolver

Description

CVE-2026-42076 is a critical OS command injection vulnerability in the EvoMap evolver product prior to version 1.69.3. The vulnerability exists in the _extractLLM() function, which constructs a shell command using unsanitized input and executes it via execSync(). This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands on the server by injecting shell metacharacters through the corpus parameter. The issue has been addressed in version 1.69.3. The CVSS score is 9.8, indicating a critical severity with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Technical Analysis

EvoMap evolver versions before 1.69.3 contain an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in the _extractLLM() function. This function builds a curl command by concatenating strings including the corpus parameter, then executes it using execSync() without proper input sanitization. An attacker can exploit this by injecting shell metacharacters into the corpus parameter, leading to arbitrary command execution on the server. The vulnerability has been fixed in version 1.69.3.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands on the server hosting EvoMap evolver, resulting in full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. This can lead to data theft, system manipulation, or denial of service.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade EvoMap evolver to version 1.69.3 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory. Patch status is not explicitly stated but the fix is confirmed in version 1.69.3.
