CVE-2022-24441Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Arbitrary code execution via invoked project build tools

Published Nov 30, 2022 · Updated Apr 24, 2025

Code injection in Snyk CLI before 1.1064.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by inducing a user to scan a malicious project. During dependency analysis, the CLI invokes project build tools that execute commands embedded in files such as build.gradle or gradle-wrapper.jar with the CLI process's privileges. Attackers must persuade a user to download and scan the project; IDE-triggered scans also require the folder to be trusted where a trust feature applies.
