CVE-2026-54699: 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 0.2024.03.12.08.02.stable_01 until 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01, Warp contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the WSL URL-opening fallback. When Warp is running under WSL and cannot open a URL through wslview, it falls back to a Windows command processor path. A URL controlled through terminal output can reach that fallback when the user opens the link. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Warp, an agentic development environment, has an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in its Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) URL-opening fallback. When Warp cannot open a URL through wslview under WSL, it uses a fallback method involving the Windows command processor. A URL controlled via terminal output can reach this fallback, allowing an attacker to inject OS commands. The vulnerability affects versions starting from 0.2024.03.12.08.02.stable_01 up to but excluding 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01, where it is fixed.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands on the Windows host via the fallback URL-opening mechanism when Warp is running under WSL. This can lead to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The CVSS v3.1 score is 7.7 (High), reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability with local attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, and scope changed.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Warp version 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01. Users should upgrade to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. No other vendor advisory or patch information is provided, so check the vendor's official channels for confirmation and further guidance.
