CVE-2026-56696
OpenHarness - Prompt Injection via /issue and /pr_comments Slash Commands
Description

OpenHarness /issue and /pr_comments slash commands lack remote_invocable=False protection, allowing remote channel senders to write attacker-controlled Markdown into project context files. Admitted remote attackers can inject malicious content into .openharness/issue.md and .openharness/pr_comments.md files, which are subsequently injected into runtime system prompts, persistently influencing local agent behavior.

Score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Score Impact Score Source
CVSS 3.1 MEDIUM 83251b91-4cc7-4094-a5c7-464a1b83ea10
CVSS 4.0 MEDIUM 83251b91-4cc7-4094-a5c7-464a1b83ea10
Solution
Ensure remote commands are not invocable to prevent writing attacker-controlled Markdown into project context files.
  • Implement remote_invocable=False protection for slash commands.
  • Sanitize input before writing to context files.
  • Review and validate all command inputs.
