Summary

CVE-2026-31975 is a high-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Cloudcli Cloud Cli. Its CVSS base score is 8.7 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 12% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as LLM Application Platforms; in the Supply Chain and Deployment risk domain.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2026-31975 is an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) affecting Cloud CLI, also known as Claude Code UI, a desktop and mobile user interface for tools including Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, and Gemini-CLI. In versions prior to 1.25.0, the server/index.js component directly interpolates unsanitized user inputs—specifically projectPath and initialCommand from WebSocket message payloads—into bash command strings, enabling arbitrary OS command execution. A secondary injection vector exists through the unsanitized sessionId. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating critical severity.

The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by unauthenticated attackers with network access to the affected application, requiring low complexity and no user interaction. By crafting malicious WebSocket messages, attackers can inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands on the host running the Cloud CLI server, potentially leading to full system compromise with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.

Mitigation is available in version 1.25.0, which addresses the injection flaws through proper input sanitization. Security practitioners should update to this release immediately.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.

Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.

Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.

Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.

Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

PR.PS-06 mostly match

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
