Summary

Untrusted prompt input could reach the Gemini CLI @file parser, allowing read/exfiltration of arbitrary local files (@/etc/passwd, @~/.ssh/id_rsa, @../../secret). On Windows, unquoted cmd.exe metacharacters could break out into OS command injection. Fix (1.1.6): removed the broken shell:false double-quote wrapping; added assertSafeFileReferences() to contain @file refs to the working directory; hardened Windows cmd.exe argument quoting.

Impact

What is OS command injection?

Untrusted input reaches a shell command, allowing arbitrary commands to run on the host. Typical impact: code execution in the application's environment.

Severity and exposure

CVE-2026-0755 has a CVSS score of 9.8 (Critical). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment.

A fixed version is available (1.1.6). Upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Affected versions

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter instead of chasing every advisory.

Kodem's Application Detection and Response identifies whether CVE-2026-0755 is reachable in your applications. Explore runtime application protection for your team.

Frequently asked questions about CVE-2026-0755

What is CVE-2026-0755?

CVE-2026-0755 is a critical-severity OS command injection vulnerability in gemini-mcp-tool (npm), affecting versions >= 1.1.2, < 1.1.6. It is fixed in 1.1.6. Untrusted input reaches a shell command, allowing arbitrary commands to run on the host.

How severe is CVE-2026-0755?

CVE-2026-0755 has a CVSS score of 9.8 (Critical). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.

Which versions of gemini-mcp-tool are affected by CVE-2026-0755?

gemini-mcp-tool (npm) versions >= 1.1.2, < 1.1.6 is affected.

Is there a fix for CVE-2026-0755?

Yes. CVE-2026-0755 is fixed in 1.1.6. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is CVE-2026-0755 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2026-0755 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether CVE-2026-0755 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

How do I fix CVE-2026-0755?

Upgrade gemini-mcp-tool to 1.1.6 or later.
