The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

OliveTin versions up to and including 3000.10.0 with user registration enabled (default configuration). Attacker must authenticate as a registered user to exploit the password argument injection vector in predefined shell commands.

Impact

CVSS 9.9 with scope change. OliveTin often runs with elevated privileges to execute system commands — injection bypasses the intended command whitelist.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

Attacker injects additional commands through OliveTin's web interface, executing arbitrary commands with OliveTin's service privileges.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

OliveTin gives access to predefined shell commands from a web interface. In versions up to and including 3000.10.0, OliveTin's shell mode safety check (checkShellArgumentSafety) blocks several dangerous argument types but not password. A user supplying a password-typed argument can inject shell metacharacters that execute arbitrary OS commands. A second independent vector allows unauthenticated RCE via webhook-extracted JSON values that skip type safety checks entirely before reaching sh -c. When exploiting vector 1, any authenticated user (registration enabled by default, authType: none by default) can execute arbitrary OS commands on the OliveTin host with the permissions of the OliveTin process. When exploiting vector 2, an unauthenticated attacker can achieve the same if the instance receives webhooks from external sources, which is a primary OliveTin use case. When an attacker exploits both vectors, this results in unauthenticated RCE on any OliveTin instance using Shell mode with webhook-triggered actions. As of time of publication, a patched version is not available.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical vulnerability in OliveTin (CVE-2026-27626) allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands through password arguments, bypassing safety checks. Organizations using OliveTin to manage critical infrastructure or sensitive operations face immediate risk of system compromise, unauthorized access, and data breach.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Restrict OliveTin web interface access via network firewall or WAF to specific IP ranges; implement reverse proxy authentication layer; disable shell command execution entirely if not critical to operations; segment OliveTin on isolated network with minimal lateral movement capability; implement enhanced logging and SIEM monitoring for all OliveTin activity; require approval workflows for all shell command execution.

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.
