5DescriptionCVE.org
A security flaw has been discovered in cosmicstack-labs mercury-agent up to 1.1.13. The impacted element is the function PermissionManager.checkShellCommand of the file mercury-agent/src/capabilities/permissions.ts of the component Shell Command Permission Check. Performing a manipulation results in improper authorization. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
AnalysisAI
Improper authorization in cosmicstack-labs mercury-agent's PermissionManager.checkShellCommand function (versions 1.1.0 through 1.1.13) allows authenticated remote attackers to bypass the shell command permission gate enforced in mercury-agent/src/capabilities/permissions.ts. A public exploit was released via GitHub issue #101, and the vendor has not responded to the coordinated disclosure. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires valid low-privilege authentication to the mercury-agent instance (PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector) - unauthenticated exploitation is not indicated. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1 places this firmly in the low tier, and the vector substantiates this: exploitation requires prior authentication (PR:L), and confidentiality/integrity/availability impacts are each limited to Low with no subsequent-system effects. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the project was notified via issue report (GitHub issue #101) but has not yet responded or released a fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
