CVE-2025-55294 Details
Description
screenshot-desktop allows capturing a screenshot of your local machine. This vulnerability is a command injection issue. When user-controlled input is passed into the format option of the screenshot function, it is interpolated into a shell command without sanitization. This results in arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the calling process. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.2.
A command injection vulnerability has been identified in the screenshot-desktop application, which allows users to capture screenshots of their local machine. The issue arises because user-controlled input in the format option of the screenshot function is interpolated into a shell command without proper sanitization. This flaw enables arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the calling process. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 1.15.2.
Users are advised to upgrade to version 1.15.2 or later. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, validate or whitelist acceptable format values, sanitize unexpected input, and avoid allowing user-controlled data to reach the format option.
