CVE-2026-52750 Details
Description
Ghidra before 12.1 contains a command injection vulnerability in URL annotation handling on Windows where cmd.exe metacharacters are not properly escaped. Attackers can execute arbitrary commands under the Ghidra user's privileges by embedding malicious URLs in program comments that victims click.
A command injection vulnerability has been identified in Ghidra versions prior to 12.1. This issue arises in the handling of URL annotations within program comments on Windows systems. The vulnerability exists because cmd.exe metacharacters are not properly escaped, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the Ghidra user. Exploitation involves embedding malicious URLs in program comments, which are then clicked by the victim.
Users are advised to upgrade to Ghidra version 12.1 or later. If an upgrade is not possible, avoid clicking on URL annotations from untrusted sources.
