CVE-2026-27626: OliveTin vulnerable to OS Command Injection via `password` argument type and webhook JSON extraction bypasses shell safety checks

OliveTin gives access to predefined shell commands from a web interface. In versions up to and including 3000.10.0, OliveTin's shell mode safety check (`checkShellArgumentSafety`) blocks several dangerous argument types but not `password`. A user supplying a `password`-typed argument can inject shell metacharacters that execute arbitrary OS commands. A second independent vector allows unauthenticated RCE via webhook-extracted JSON values that skip type safety checks entirely before reaching `sh -c`. When exploiting vector 1, any authenticated user (registration enabled by default, `authType: none` by default) can execute arbitrary OS commands on the OliveTin host with the permissions of the OliveTin process. When exploiting vector 2, an unauthenticated attacker can achieve the same if the instance receives webhooks from external sources, which is a primary OliveTin use case. When an attacker exploits both vectors, this results in unauthenticated RCE on any OliveTin instance using Shell mode with webhook-triggered actions. As of time of publication, a patched version is not available.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2026-27626 is a critical OS command injection flaw in OliveTin through version 3000.10.0. It can let attackers run arbitrary commands on the OliveTin host. One path requires an authenticated user, but default settings may make access easy. A second webhook-related path may allow unauthenticated remote code execution when affected webhook actions are exposed.

Executive priority

Treat as urgent for any internet-facing or webhook-enabled OliveTin deployment. The business risk is direct host compromise, not just application abuse. Prioritize exposure reduction immediately while monitoring vendor guidance for a patch.

Technical view

OliveTin’s shell mode safety check blocks dangerous argument types but not `password`, allowing shell metacharacter injection. A separate webhook JSON extraction path can bypass type safety checks before values reach `sh -c`. Impact is arbitrary OS command execution as the OliveTin process. Sources state no patched version was available at publication.

Likely exposure

Highest risk applies to OliveTin <= 3000.10.0 using Shell mode, especially with webhook-triggered actions reachable from external sources. Instances with default `authType: none` or open registration may be easier to abuse. Non-shell configurations or isolated internal deployments may have lower exposure, but sources do not fully define safe configurations.

Exploitation context

The CVE record is not marked KEV, and the provided sources do not state active exploitation. The vulnerability is network-reachable, low-complexity, and can lead to full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the host running OliveTin.

Researcher notes

The public description identifies two independent vectors: `password` argument handling and webhook JSON extraction bypassing safety checks. The CVSS vector includes PR:L, but the webhook vector is described as unauthenticated under relevant configurations. Evidence is limited to public CVE and advisory material provided here.

Mitigation direction

  • Check the GitHub advisory and OliveTin releases for an official patched version or vendor guidance.
  • Temporarily disable Shell mode actions where business operations allow.
  • Disable or restrict externally reachable webhook-triggered actions until remediated.
  • Require strong authentication and avoid `authType: none` for exposed instances.
  • Restrict network access to OliveTin to trusted users and systems only.
  • Review OliveTin process permissions and reduce host privileges where possible.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory all OliveTin deployments and record their versions.
  • Identify instances running OliveTin <= 3000.10.0.
  • Review configurations for Shell mode actions.
  • Check whether webhook-triggered actions accept external requests.
  • Verify whether authentication is enabled and registration is restricted.
  • Review logs for unexpected action execution or unusual host activity.
