CVE-2026-46709: CWE-77: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection') in Eugeny tabby
Tabby (formerly Terminus) is a highly configurable terminal emulator. Prior to 1.0.234, Tabby inserts dropped file paths from tabby-electron/src/pathDrop.ts into the active shell without neutralizing command substitution metacharacters such as $(…) and `…`, so the incomplete CVE-2026-45038 fix for control characters still allows code execution when the victim presses Enter. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.234.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Tabby, a configurable terminal emulator, had a command injection vulnerability (CWE-77) in versions before 1.0.234. The vulnerability occurs in the handling of dropped file paths in tabby-electron/src/pathDrop.ts, where command substitution metacharacters were not neutralized. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands when the victim interacts with the terminal input. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.8, indicating high severity. The issue was fixed in version 1.0.234.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands in the context of the terminal emulator when the victim presses Enter, potentially leading to full compromise of the user's environment. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability (all rated high in CVSS).
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Tabby to version 1.0.234 or later, where this command injection vulnerability has been fixed. No other mitigations are specified. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor stating the fix is in 1.0.234.
