What is CVE-2025-54377?

CVE-2025-54377 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in RooCodeInc Roo-Code, published on 23 Jul 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

Roo Code is an AI-powered autonomous coding agent that lives in users' editors. In versions 3.23.18 and below, RooCode does not validate line breaks (\n) in its command input, allowing potential bypass of the allow-list mechanism. The project appears to lack parsing or validation logic to prevent multi-line command injection. When commands are evaluated for execution, only the first line or token may be considered, enabling attackers to smuggle additional commands in subsequent lines. This is fixed in version 3.23.19.

Weakness: CWE-77
