It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected p_69_branch_monkey_mcp versions: 69bc71874ce40050ef45fde5a435855f18af3373. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 1.5% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 75% of scored CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Check which version of p_69_branch_monkey_mcp you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
A vulnerability was identified in eyal-gor p_69_branch_monkey_mcp up to 69bc71874ce40050ef45fde5a435855f18af3373. The affected element is an unknown function of the file branch_monkey_mcp/bridge_and_local_actions/routes/advanced.py of the component Preview Endpoint. Such manipulation of the argument dev_script leads to os command injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. This product does not use versioning. This is why information about affected and unaffected releases are unavailable. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

The underlying weakness: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command
The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- If at all possible, use library calls rather than external processes to recreate the desired functionality.
- If possible, ensure that all external commands called from the program are statically created.
- Run time: Run time policy enforcement may be used in an allowlist fashion to prevent use of any non-sanctioned commands.
