CVE-2026-82536: Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs in RooCodeInc Roo-Code
Description
Roo-Code through 3.54.0 contains an auto-approve bypass vulnerability in the shell command parsing logic that allows attackers to execute denied shell commands by exploiting the omission of the bash pipe operator from the command parser's operator token set. Attackers can craft a command line with an allowlisted prefix followed by the stderr-redirecting pipe operator and a denied command, causing the parser to approve the full pipeline while bash executes the denied component with the agent's auto-execute privileges on the developer's machine.

Technical Analysis
Roo-Code versions up to 3.54.0 contain a vulnerability in the shell command parser that fails to include the bash pipe operator in its list of disallowed inputs. This omission enables attackers to bypass the auto-approval mechanism by constructing command lines that combine an allowlisted prefix with a stderr-redirecting pipe operator and a denied command. The parser incorrectly approves the entire pipeline, but bash executes the denied command component with the privileges of the agent running on the developer's machine, potentially leading to unauthorized command execution.
Potential Impact
An attacker can execute shell commands that are normally denied by the Roo-Code command parser by exploiting the missing pipe operator in the disallowed inputs list. This can lead to unauthorized command execution with the privileges of the Roo-Code agent on the developer's machine, potentially compromising system integrity and confidentiality.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should avoid running untrusted commands through the Roo-Code shell command interface and monitor for updates from RooCodeInc regarding patches or workarounds.
