DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was detected in cosmicstack-labs mercury-agent up to 1.1.13. Affected is the function checkShellCommand of the file src/capabilities/permissions.ts of the component Shell Command Execution. The manipulation results in incorrect behavior order: validate before canonicalize. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

Mercury Agent versions through 1.1.13 gate shell execution by validating commands before canonicalizing them, so a caller with low privileges can craft input that passes the raw-string permission check yet resolves to a protected target, disclosing restricted data over the network. The flaw is a validate-before-canonicalize ordering error (CWE-180) in checkShellCommand within src/capabilities/permissions.ts, and publicly available exploit code exists via the project's own issue tracker. …
