CVE-2026-48703: CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in warpdotdev warp
Warp is an agentic development environment. From 0.2025.04.09.08.11.stable_00 until 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01, Warp contains a command execution policy bypass in Agent code search tools. The affected Grep and FileGlob actions are authorized as read/search operations, but their implementations build shell command strings from Agent-controlled inputs (search text, paths, glob patterns) and execute them in the active terminal session. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-48703 is an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in the Warp development environment. The flaw exists in the Agent code search tools, specifically the Grep and FileGlob actions, which are intended as read/search operations but construct shell commands from Agent-controlled inputs such as search text, paths, and glob patterns. These commands are executed in the active terminal session, allowing an attacker to bypass command execution policies. The issue affects Warp versions from 0.2025.04.09.08.11.stable_00 through versions prior to 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, indicating high severity with impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability is fixed in version 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands within the active terminal session, leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. This can result in unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption of service.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Warp to version 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other official remediation or temporary fixes are documented. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor's fixed version. Until upgraded, avoid using the vulnerable Grep and FileGlob actions with untrusted input.
