Threat & Defense at a Glance
Threat & Defense Details
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
Directly prevents command injection by requiring validation of manipulated arguments like working_dir/editable_files before processing in aider_mcp.py.
Enforces restrictions on types and sources of inputs to block command injection attacks exploiting the code_with_ai component.
Requires timely identification and remediation of the specific command injection flaw up to commit 667b914301aada695aab0e46d1fb3a7d5e32c8af.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Command injection in remotely accessible application (AV:N, unauth) directly enables T1190 for initial access via public-facing app exploitation and T1059 for arbitrary command execution on the host.
NVD Description
A vulnerability has been found in eiliyaabedini aider-mcp up to 667b914301aada695aab0e46d1fb3a7d5e32c8af. Affected is an unknown function of the file aider_mcp.py of the component code_with_ai. The manipulation of the argument working_dir/editable_files leads to command injection. The attack may be initiated remotely.…

Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2026-7316 is a command injection vulnerability in the eiliyaabedini/aider-mcp project, affecting an unknown function in the file aider_mcp.py within the code_with_ai component. The flaw impacts versions up to the commit hash 667b914301aada695aab0e46d1fb3a7d5e32c8af and stems from manipulation of the working_dir/editable_files argument. It is associated with CWEs-74 and CWE-77, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).
The vulnerability enables remote exploitation by unauthenticated attackers without requiring user interaction or privileges. Attackers can inject arbitrary commands via the manipulated arguments, potentially achieving limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as unauthorized command execution on the host system.
Due to the project's rolling release model, no specific version information exists for affected or patched releases. The issue was reported early to the project via GitHub issue #1, but maintainers have not responded. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be actively used, as detailed in advisories from VulDB (e.g., https://vuldb.com/vuln/359964) and the repository at https://github.com/eiliyaabedini/aider-mcp/.
