If you cannot patch yet, users should carefully review any generated deployment commands before executing them, especially those copied from the Livebook web interface. Restrict privileges to set deployment group environment variables to trusted users only to reduce risk.
Description
CVE-2026-66297 is an OS Command Injection vulnerability in livebook-dev livebook that allows command injection into generated deployment setup commands. The vulnerability arises because deployment group environment variable values are interpolated into Docker and Fly.io setup commands without proper shell escaping. This can lead to execution of arbitrary commands on the machine of the user who runs the generated command. An attacker must have privileges to set deployment group environment variables to exploit this issue. Kubernetes instructions are not affected due to proper escaping in YAML manifests. The vulnerability affects livebook versions from 0.13.0 before 0.18.7 and from 0.19.0 before 0.19.9.
