CVE-2026-66902

Estado: AplazadaCrítica (9.8)—

Google::Auth versions before 0.06 for Perl run a command named in an external_account credentials JSON via an ungated system call.

The Pluggable subclass reads credential_source.executable.command from the credentials JSON and runs it as `system($command)`, a single argument call that passes the whole string to /bin/sh -c. The executable's environment_variables map from the same JSON is copied into %ENV first.

Leer descripción completaMostrar menos

No opt-in gate guards the call. make_creds selects the Pluggable subclass whenever credential_source.executable is present, so the path is reached from the standard Application Default Credentials flow, including a "type": "external_account" configuration read from the file named by GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS. Configurations without credential_source.executable do not select this subclass and do not reach the call.

Any caller that builds credentials from a configuration it does not fully control runs the embedded command with the privileges of the application process.

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

Vector CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N sin UI permite explotación remota sin autenticación. El JSON de credenciales malicioso ejecuta comandos arbitrarios vía system() sin validación. Impacto: ejecución de código en contexto del proceso (T1059) y potencial manipulación de credenciales/secrets en memoria durante

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
