CVE-2026-16733
Description
A flaw was found in bahmutov find-cypress-specs. A local attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the Branch Handler component by manipulating the '--branch' argument. This manipulation leads to an operating system (OS) command injection, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system. This could result in unauthorized access, modification, or disruption of data and system resources.
Statement
This Moderate flaw in find-cypress-specs allows a local attacker with low privileges to achieve OS command injection by manipulating the --branch argument. The vulnerability requires local execution, limiting its blast radius and justifying its Moderate impact, as it does not allow for remote exploitation or privilege escalation from an unprivileged user.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
