Vulnerability Data

Claude HUD through 0.0.12, patched in commit 234d9aa, contains a command injection vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands by manipulating the COMSPEC environment variable. Attackers can set COMSPEC to an arbitrary binary path before claude-hud performs its…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Establishes restrictive configuration settings that can define and lock down approved search paths.

Enforces approved authorizations so that only intended actors can place or modify elements in the search path.

Limits privileges so unintended actors cannot write to or control directories in the product's search path.

Restricts logical and physical access to change system configuration, including search-path settings and directories.

finds

Security testing can detect uncontrolled search-path issues but does not prevent them by itself.

mitigates

Restricting software installation reduces the chance that an attacker-controlled path element is introduced into the search path.

mitigates

Secure system architecture and engineering principles require explicit control over search paths and resource locations.

prevents

Secure coding practices directly address the use of fixed or controlled search paths that can be influenced by unintended actors.

prevents

Configuration management can enforce approved search-path settings but does not inherently prevent the weakness.
