DescriptionNVD

Tabby (formerly Terminus) is a highly configurable terminal emulator. Prior to 1.0.233, Tabby before 1.0.233 automatically confirms ZMODEM protocol detection on all terminal session output without user interaction, enabling shell command execution when a user displays attacker-controlled content. The ZModemMiddleware in tabby-terminal consumes all session output through a Zmodem.Sentry, and when a ZMODEM ZRQINIT header is detected, unconditionally calls detection.confirm() and writes a fixed ZRINIT response ( \x18B0100000023be50\r\n\x11) back into the active PTY as input. When the process that triggered the detection (e.g., cat) exits, the injected bytes are consumed by the user's shell as a command line. Under fish (default configuration), the prefix triggers recursive glob expansion against the current directory, allowing an attacker-placed executable at a matching nested path (e.g., d/xB0100000023be50) to be executed by relative pathname without relying on PATH. Under bash and zsh, a secondary xterm.js terminal color-query feedback (OSC 10) can be combined in the same file to inject a slash-containing command word that similarly bypasses PATH resolution. An attacker can exploit this by providing a crafted file (e.g., in a cloned Git repository) that a user displays with cat, achieving code execution with no interaction beyond viewing the file. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.0.233.

AnalysisAI

Local code execution in Tabby terminal emulator versions before 1.0.233 occurs when users view attacker-controlled files containing ZMODEM protocol headers. The vulnerability exploits automatic ZMODEM detection that injects commands into the user's shell when displaying malicious content with common commands like 'cat'. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: inventory all systems running Tabby and identify installed versions (check Tabby settings > About or run 'tabby --version'). Within 7 days: disable ZMODEM protocol support in Tabby settings if the feature is available, and communicate to users to avoid viewing files from untrusted sources using Tabby's file preview features. …
