An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-25244 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- @wdio/browserstack-service (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 9.24.0\n- @wdio/browserstack-service (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 9.24.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-25244/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-25244/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-25244","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-25244/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-25244","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5c46-x3qw-q7j7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WebdriverIO test framework","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code on CI/CD servers and developer machines by exploiting unsanitized git branch names in WebdriverIO's BrowserStack service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"webdriverio","vendor":"openjsf"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"WebdriverIO is a test automation framework for unit, e2e and component testing using WebDriver, WebDriver BiDi and Appium. Versions below 9.24.0 contain a command injection vulnerability leading to remote code execution (RCE) in test orchestration. Git permits branch names containing shell metacharacters, and getGitMetadataForAISelection() interpolates these names directly into execSync() calls without sanitization. An attacker can exploit this by supplying a malicious repository (via testOrchestrationOptions.runSmartSelection.source, or the current directory if unset) whose branch name carries a payload, causing the shell to execute arbitrary code. This enables remote code execution on CI/CD servers and developer machines, leading to credential and secret disclosure, source code and SSH key exfiltration, system compromise, and supply chain attacks via tampered build artifacts. The issue has been fixed in version 9.24.0.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"WebdriverIO has Command Injection in the BrowserStack Service","id":"CVE-2026-25244","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"2026"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in EazyFix","id":"CVE-2026-25250"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["9.24.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"@wdio/browserstack-service","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-5c46-x3qw-q7j7"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["9.24.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"@wdio/browserstack-service","purl":"pkg:npm/%40wdio/browserstack-service","source":"GHSA-5c46-x3qw-q7j7"}],"prev":{"headline":"redis-server RESTORE invalid memory access may allow remote code execution","id":"CVE-2026-25243"},"products":["webdriverio"],"published":"2026-05-18","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-23","vendors":["webdriverio"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code on CI/CD servers and developer machines by exploiting unsanitized git branch names in WebdriverIO's BrowserStack service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-25244/"}
