CVE-2024-41997

Command execution via auto-opened Docker subshell

Published Oct 14, 2024 · Updated Oct 16, 2024

Command injection in Warp Terminal before 2024.07.18 allows context-dependent attackers to execute commands through a crafted Docker link. The Docker open_subshell URI handler treated attacker-controlled link data as an executable subshell action without first requiring command confirmation. Exploitation requires the macOS-only Docker extension and a victim click; the injected command runs with the victim's account privileges.
