## What is CVE-2026-68928?

CVE-2026-68928 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in Acode-Foundation Acode, published on 18 Sep 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

Acode is a powerful text and code editor for Android. From 1.11.6 until 1.12.7, com.foxdebug.acode.rk.exec.terminal.TerminalService is declared as an exported service in src/plugins/terminal/plugin.xml without a binding permission, and src/plugins/terminal/src/android/TerminalService.java does not verify the caller. Any installed Android application can bind the service and send MSG_EXEC with an attacker-controlled cmd value, which the terminal implementation passes to ProcessBuilder with sh -c inside Acode's UID. This allows a zero-permission local application to execute commands with access to Acode private data, remote credentials, Storage Access Framework grants, and runtime permissions without additional interaction at attack time. This issue is fixed in version 1.12.7.

Weakness: CWE-926 (Improper Export of Android Application Components), CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), CWE-749 (Exposed Dangerous Method or Function)

What it is: CVE-2026-68928 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in Acode-Foundation Acode, published on 18 Sep 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-68928 exists.

Affected product: Acode-Foundation Acode. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
