AI-suggested
Upgrade Weblate to version 2026.8 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. No other mitigations are indicated or recommended by the vendor advisory. Until patched, restrict project-scoped component.edit permissions to trusted users only.
Description
Weblate versions from 4.11.1 up to but not including 2026.8 contain an OS command injection vulnerability in the Mercurial backend. This flaw allows an authenticated user with project-scoped component.edit permission to exploit repository filenames starting with a dash (-) as Mercurial options, potentially leading to arbitrary command execution with the Weblate service account privileges. This vulnerability is a residual issue from an incomplete fix for CVE-2022-23915 and has been addressed in version 2026.8.
