CVE-2026-45152Public exploit

Arbitrary command execution via unsanitized shell check

Published May 27, 2026 · Updated May 27, 2026

Command injection in uniget CLI before 0.27.1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands through malicious metadata. RunVersionCheck passes the metadata-derived Tool.Check value to /bin/bash -c, which interprets embedded shell metacharacters instead of treating the value as data. A user must process attacker-controlled metadata through an affected CLI operation, after which injected commands run with that user's privileges.
