CVE-2026-123717Eclipse CSI otterdog OS command injection
CVE-2026-123717 is a OS command injection in Eclipse CSI otterdog, rated high (8.8 on CVSS 4.0).
Why this priority: High severity, with no exploitation signal yet.
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, with an ordinary user account, but someone has to act first, such as opening a file or following a link. Success also depends on conditions the attacker does not fully control.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects, change data or behaviour and take it offline. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker run commands or code with the privileges of the affected service. The damage can spread past the vulnerable component into others.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade Eclipse CSI otterdog to 1.8.0 or later.
- Until it is patched, review who holds accounts that can reach it.
- Warn the people who use it, and filter files and links on the way in.
Description from NVD
OS command injection in the pass and bitwarden credential providers in Eclipse Foundation Eclipse Otterdog through 1.7.1 allows a user able to modify an organization configuration to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the operator running otterdog, including access to their credential vault, via a crafted secret reference (pass:<path> or bitwarden:<item>@<field>) or credential identifier that is resolved when otterdog apply is run.
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
- Authenticated network access. An account is needed, so exposure follows who can sign in: customers, partners or staff.
- People who open files and links. Mail, chat and browsers are the delivery path.
- Isolation between components. The impact crosses out of the vulnerable component into others it should be isolated from.
- 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 Eclipse CSI otterdog 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?
