Security-policy bypass via inconsistent command normalization
Published Aug 13, 2026 · Updated Aug 13, 2026
Security matcher bypass in Network-AI before 5.15.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute blocked commands via quoted input. SandboxPolicy matches raw, quote-preserving command strings against blocklists and approval patterns, but tokenizeCommand strips quotes before spawn executes the resulting argv. A compromised or constrained agent and an operator allowlist for the target binary are required; execution remains limited to that binary's capabilities.

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?
