Command execution and file overwrite via two-argument open
Published Jun 14, 2026 · Updated Jun 14, 2026
OS command injection in Shlomi Fish Config::IniFiles before 3.001000 allows local users to execute commands through a crafted -file argument. The _make_filehandle routine passes that argument to Perl's two-argument open, which interprets pipe and redirect syntax as commands or redirections. Exploitation requires a caller to forward untrusted input to -file and grants command execution or file truncation under the process UID.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
