CVE-2026-63046: CWE-88 Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command ('Argument Injection') in Apache Software Foundation Apache InLong
Description
CVE-2026-63046 is a high-severity vulnerability in Apache InLong affecting versions from 2.0.0 up to but not including 2.4.0. The flaw involves improper neutralization of argument delimiters in a command, specifically in the Agent Installer's ModuleManager component, which executes arbitrary shell commands via ExcuteLinux.exeCmd() without filtering or whitelist validation. This allows potential command injection. Users are advised to upgrade to version 2.4.0 or apply specific patches to remediate the issue.

Technical Analysis
Apache InLong versions >=2.0.0 and <2.4.0 contain a CWE-88 vulnerability where the Agent Installer's ModuleManager executes shell commands through ExcuteLinux.exeCmd() without proper input validation or argument delimiter neutralization. This improper neutralization enables an attacker with appropriate privileges to inject arbitrary commands, potentially leading to full system compromise. The vulnerability is addressed in Apache InLong 2.4.0 and patches available at https://github.com/apache/inlong/pull/12151 and https://github.com/apache/inlong/pull/12155.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker with limited privileges to execute arbitrary shell commands on the affected system, resulting in complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The CVSS v3.1 score is 8.8 (High), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available. Users should upgrade Apache InLong to version 2.4.0 or apply the patches referenced in the vendor advisories (https://github.com/apache/inlong/pull/12151 and https://github.com/apache/inlong/pull/12155) to remediate this vulnerability.
