CVE-2025-54558 Details
Description
OpenAI Codex CLI before 0.9.0 auto-approves ripgrep (aka rg) execution even with the --pre or --hostname-bin or --search-zip or -z flag.
A vulnerability exists in OpenAI Codex CLI versions prior to 0.9.0, where the application automatically approves the execution of ripgrep (rg) commands. This auto-approval occurs even when potentially harmful flags are used, such as '--pre', '--hostname-bin', '--search-zip', or '-z'. The issue arises because the CLI does not properly validate these flags before granting permission to execute the command.
Users can update to OpenAI Codex CLI version 0.9.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
