Unauthenticated command execution via empty webhook token
Published Aug 19, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
OS command injection in cc-connect 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 allows remote attackers to execute shell commands via crafted webhook exec requests. In core/webhook.go, Authenticate accepts requests when webhook.token is empty, and the /hook handler accepts an exec field that is sent to shell execution without neutralizing command input. Reachability depends on the webhook endpoint being enabled and exposed with an empty token, a mode the project documents as disabling authentication, and successful exploitation executes in the cc-connect process context.
