CVE-2024-11858

Shell command execution via unvalidated Pebble input

Published Dec 15, 2024 · Updated Dec 16, 2024

OS command injection in radare2 0.9.7 through 5.9.8 allows local users to execute shell commands by opening a crafted Pebble app. The Pebble file parser passes insufficiently validated attacker-controlled input into command parsing without neutralizing shell metacharacters; public records do not identify the exact function. User interaction is required, and injected commands run with the privileges of the process opening the file.
