CVE-2026-45792Public exploit

Output tampering via untrusted project-local filters

Published Jun 23, 2026 · Updated Jun 23, 2026

Improper configuration trust in RTK before 0.32.0 allows local users to tamper with LLM-visible command output through a crafted repository. RTK loads .rtk/filters.toml from the working directory at highest priority without notice, then applies its regex rules to command output. Exploitation requires an operator or AI agent to run RTK inside an attacker-controlled checkout, allowing file, diff, and scan output to be suppressed or rewritten.
