CWE-77Published: October 8, 2025· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

9.8

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

A vulnerability has been found in wonderwhy-er DesktopCommanderMCP up to 0.2.13. The affected element is the function extractBaseCommand of the file src/command-manager.ts of the component Absolute Path Handler. Such manipulation leads to os command injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor explains: "The usual use case is that AI is asked to do something, picks commands itself, and typically uses simple command names without absolute paths. It's curious why a user would ask the model to bypass restrictions this way. (...) This could potentially be a problem, but we are yet to hear reports of this being an issue in actual workflows. We'll leave this issue open for situations where people may report this as a problem for the long term."

Risk Analysis

This critical OS command injection vulnerability in wonderwhy-er DesktopCommanderMCP up to 0.2.13 allows an attacker to manipulate the 'extractBaseCommand' function in src/command-manager.ts. With a CVSS score of 9.8, this flaw poses a severe risk, enabling full compromise of data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The absence of an EPSS score means the likelihood of exploitation is not yet quantified, but the critical severity warrants immediate attention.

No public exploit is currently known for this vulnerability. However, the attack can be initiated remotely without requiring any user interaction or privileges, making it highly accessible to potential attackers.

Recommended Action

Administrators should upgrade wonderwhy-er DesktopCommanderMCP to a version beyond 0.2.13. Implement robust input validation and sanitize all user-supplied data before using it in system commands.
