CVE-2026-0830

Arbitrary command execution via crafted folder names

Published Jan 9, 2026 · Updated Jan 9, 2026

Command injection in the GitLab Merge-Request helper in Kiro IDE before 0.6.18 allows attackers to execute commands through a malicious workspace. The helper incorporates specially crafted workspace folder names into an OS command without neutralizing embedded command content. Execution requires a user to open the crafted workspace, after which injected commands run with that user's privileges and can read, change, or interrupt local resources.
