CVE-2026-40602
Description
A flaw was found in the Home Assistant Command-line interface (hass-cli). This command-line tool for Home Assistant used an unrestricted environment to handle Jinja2 templates, rather than a sandboxed one. A local user with high privileges could exploit this by providing malicious input within Jinja2 templates, gaining access to Python's internal functions. This could lead to arbitrary code execution and significant information disclosure.
