Prompt forgery via unsanitized package metadata
Published Sep 7, 2026 · Updated Sep 8, 2026
Terminal escape injection in Igniter 0.8.1 through 0.8.3 allows remote attackers to forge install prompts via crafted package metadata. Igniter.Project.Deps prints publisher-controlled descriptions, owner names, dependencies, and versions after stripping only newlines, leaving ANSI controls active. Exploitation requires a developer to run mix igniter.install for an untrusted or misspelled package in an ANSI-aware terminal, enabling approval of a malicious dependency.

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.
- Affected versionversion=0.8.1 <0.8.4
- Affected versionversion=d26d9b3a8348661813617606076315075d32663b <d492b1aa33f8fb0dacc0afa41b703fb922d42816
