CVE-2026-31861
CWE-94Published: March 11, 2026· Updated: Mar 17, 2026
Official Description
Cloud CLI (aka Claude Code UI) is a desktop and mobile UI for Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, and Gemini-CLI. Prior to 1.24.0, The /api/user/git-config endpoint constructs shell commands by interpolating user-supplied gitName and gitEmail values into command strings passed to child_process.exec(). The input is placed within double quotes and only " is escaped, but backticks (`), $() command substitution, and \ sequences are all interpreted within double-quoted strings in bash. This allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via the git configuration endpoint. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.0.
