CVE-2026-25244
WebdriverIO has Command Injection in the BrowserStack Service
Description
WebdriverIO is a test automation framework for unit, e2e and component testing using WebDriver, WebDriver BiDi and Appium. Versions below 9.24.0 contain a command injection vulnerability leading to remote code execution (RCE) in test orchestration. Git permits branch names containing shell metacharacters, and getGitMetadataForAISelection() interpolates these names directly into execSync() calls without sanitization. An attacker can exploit this by supplying a malicious repository (via testOrchestrationOptions.runSmartSelection.source, or the current directory if unset) whose branch name carries a payload, causing the shell to execute arbitrary code. This enables remote code execution on CI/CD servers and developer machines, leading to credential and secret disclosure, source code and SSH key exfiltration, system compromise, and supply chain attacks via tampered build artifacts. The issue has been fixed in version 9.24.0.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: WebdriverIO, Description: WebdriverIO es un framework de automatización de pruebas para pruebas unitarias, e2e y de componentes utilizando WebDriver, WebDriver BiDi y Appium. Las versiones anteriores a la 9.24.0 contienen una vulnerabilidad de inyección de comandos que conduce a la ejecución remota de código (RCE) en la orquestación de pruebas. Git permite nombres de rama que contienen metacaracteres de shell, y getGitMetadataForAISelection() interpola estos nombres directamente en las llamadas a execSync() sin sanitización. Un atacante puede explotar esto suministrando un repositorio malicioso (a través de testOrchestrationOptions.runSmartSelection.source, o el directorio actual si no está configurado) cuyo nombre de rama contenga una carga útil, lo que provoca que el shell ejecute código arbitrario. Esto permite la ejecución remota de código en servidores CI/CD y máquinas de desarrolladores, lo que lleva a la divulgación de credenciales y secretos, la exfiltración de código fuente y claves SSH, el compromiso del sistema y ataques a la cadena de suministro a través de artefactos de compilación manipulados. El problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 9.24.0. -
