CVE-2026-90773: Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences in dalance procs
procs through 0.14.12 fails to sanitize escape sequences in process command lines before displaying them in the Command column. Local attackers can execute processes with malicious ANSI or OSC escape sequences in their command line arguments, which are written unmodified to other users' terminals for interpretation by terminal emulators.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in dalance procs (<=0.14.12) involves improper neutralization of escape, meta, or control sequences in process command lines. Specifically, malicious ANSI or OSC escape sequences embedded in command line arguments by local attackers are displayed without sanitization in the Command column, causing these sequences to be interpreted by terminal emulators of other users viewing the output.
Potential Impact
Local attackers with the ability to run processes can inject malicious escape sequences into their command lines, which are then displayed unfiltered to other users. This could lead to unintended terminal behavior or visual manipulation on affected users' terminals. The CVSS score of 2.4 indicates a low impact, with no direct privilege escalation or remote exploitation.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation information is provided. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, users should be cautious about running untrusted processes and consider restricting local user permissions to mitigate risk.
