2 techniques across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | Full system compromise — the attacker can execute any command with the privileges of the vulnerable application process. With a CVSS score of 4.1 (MEDIUM), this represents a moderate risk. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker injects shell metacharacters (;, |, &&) into a parameter that is passed to a system command, causing additional commands to be executed. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 16, 2026
Meshtastic is an open source mesh networking solution. The main_matrix.yml GitHub Action is triggered by the pull_request_target event, which has extensive permissions, and can be initiated by an attacker who forked the repository and created a pull request. In the shell code execution part, user-controlled input is interpolated unsafely into the code. If this were to be exploited, attackers could inject unauthorized code into the repository. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.6.6.

RemediationAI
Avoid passing user input to system commands. Use language-specific APIs instead of shell commands. If unavoidable, use strict input validation and escaping.

Lifecycle Timeline
2Executive ViewAI
Organizations using Meshtastic should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2025-53637, a OS command injection vulnerability rated CVSS 4.1. Exploitation could allow attackers to execute code or inject malicious input. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: deploy WAF rules, restrict network access, enable logging.

What every action level means
SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
OS command injection occurs when an application passes unsanitized user input directly into system shell commands.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
