WebSocket message payload and interpolated into a bash command string without any sanitization, enabling arbitrary OS command execution. A secondary injection vector exists via unsanitized sessionId. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.25.0.
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
Directly requires input validation and sanitization of WebSocket payloads like projectPath, initialCommand, and sessionId before bash command interpolation, preventing OS command injection.
Ensures timely identification, reporting, and patching of the command injection flaw to version 1.25.0, remediating the vulnerability.
Restricts WebSocket message inputs to authorized types, formats, and content, limiting opportunities for malicious command payloads.
Security SummaryAI
CVE-2026-31975 is an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) affecting Cloud CLI, also known as Claude Code UI, a desktop and mobile user interface for tools including Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, and Gemini-CLI. In versions prior to 1.25.0, the server/index.js component directly interpolates unsanitized user inputs—specifically projectPath and initialCommand from WebSocket message payloads—into bash command strings, enabling arbitrary OS command execution. A secondary injection vector exists through the unsanitized sessionId. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating critical severity.
The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by unauthenticated attackers with network access to the affected application, requiring low complexity and no user interaction. By crafting malicious WebSocket messages, attackers can inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands on the host running the Cloud CLI server, potentially leading to full system compromise with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.
Mitigation is available in version 1.25.0, which addresses the injection flaws through proper input sanitization. Security practitioners should update to this release immediately.
