AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Trigger arrives via local terminal output (AV:L), depends on the non-default wslview-failure fallback (AC:H), needs a victim click (UI:R), and command execution crosses WSL into the Windows host (S:C, C/I/A:H).

Warp is an agentic development environment. From 0.2024.03.12.08.02.stable_01 until 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01, Warp contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the WSL URL-opening fallback. When Warp is running under WSL and cannot open a URL through wslview, it falls back to a Windows command processor path. A URL controlled through terminal output can reach that fallback when the user opens the link. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01.
AnalysisAI
OS command injection in Warp (the agentic terminal/development environment) affects builds from 0.2024.03.12.08.02.stable_01 up to the fix in 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01 when running under Windows Subsystem for Linux. When wslview cannot open a URL, Warp falls back to a Windows command processor (cmd.exe /c start), so a malicious URL emitted into terminal output executes attacker-controlled Windows commands once the user clicks the link. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires all of the following concrete conditions: (1) Warp must be running under Windows Subsystem for Linux; (2) the wslview URL-opening path must fail or be unavailable so Warp reaches the cmd.exe /c start fallback; (3) a crafted URL must be present in the Warp terminal output (deliverable by any process or remote content whose output is displayed); and (4) the user must actively click/open that link (UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 7.7 High) tells a consistent story: local attack vector because the trigger arrives through terminal output rather than directly over the network, high attack complexity because exploitation depends on the WSL deployment mode and on wslview failing so the cmd.exe fallback is reached, no privileges required, but mandatory user interaction (the victim must click the link). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker lures a Warp-on-WSL user into running a command or viewing remote content (e.g. a README, log, or git output) that prints a crafted URL containing Windows command metacharacters. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01 - upgrade Warp to this version or later, which validates that URLs parse and use only the http/https scheme and switches the WSL fallback from cmd.exe /c start to rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler with a re-serialized, percent-encoded URL. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all Warp installations on WSL systems and determine which are running vulnerable versions (0.2024.03.12.08.02.stable_01 through pre-0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01). …
