Command execution via nested parameter expansion
Published Jul 20, 2026 · Updated Jul 20, 2026
Command injection in Roo Code 3.54.0 and earlier allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands through auto-approved shell input. The parseCommandLine routine replaces parameter expansions with opaque placeholders before checking nested command substitutions, so getCommandDecision validates only the allowlisted outer prefix. Exploitation requires Always Approve Execute and attacker influence over an agent-proposed command, such as indirect prompt injection, and runs code with the extension's host privileges.

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.
