CVE-2026-123357grobidOrg grobid OS command injection
CVE-2026-123357 is a OS command injection in grobidOrg grobid, rated none (0.0 on CVSS 3.1).
Why this priority: None severity, with no exploitation signal.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
Input reaches an operating-system command line, letting an attacker run their own commands on the host.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
The scored direct impact on the component itself is low. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker run commands or code with the privileges of the affected service.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet. It can be exploited automatically, at scale.
What to do
- Upgrade grobidOrg grobid to 0.9.1 or later.
- Until it is patched, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.
Description from NVD
GROBID is machine learning software for extracting information from scholarly documents. Prior to 0.9.1, the Linux non-server PDF conversion path in grobid-core/src/main/java/org/grobid/core/document/DocumentSource.java passes an attacker-influenced PDF filename through DocumentSource.pdfalto, which interpolates the path into a bash -c command string. A single quote in the filename can terminate the intended quoting, and ProcessRunner.run in grobid-core/src/main/java/org/grobid/core/process/ProcessRunner.java starts the resulting command through ProcessBuilder, allowing arbitrary commands to execute with GROBID process privileges. The bundled REST server path is not affected. This issue is fixed in version 0.9.1.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Application servers and the hosts they run on. The flaw sits between untrusted input and code or command execution.
- Template engines. The flaw sits between untrusted input and code or command execution.
Trust boundaries in play
- Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
- Between untrusted input and code or command execution. An attacker who crosses it can run commands or code with the privileges of the affected service.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does grobidOrg grobid run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
