CVE-2026-73294: Semaphore UI lets manager run commands on server
CVE-2026-73294 · published 2 months ago
Summary
Versions of Semaphore UI before 2.18.17 (and before 2.19.5‑beta2) let a project manager or owner supply input that causes the server to run arbitrary operating‑system commands. This could let an attacker take control of the host running Semaphore. Upgrade to version 2.18.17 or later (or 2.19.5‑beta2 or later) to stop the problem.
What to do
- Update semaphoreui semaphore to version 2.18.20 or later.

Original advisory text
Semaphore U: OS Command Injection
Semaphore UI is a web interface for managing DevOps tools. Prior to 2.18.17 and 2.19.5-beta2, repository git_url handling passes an attacker-controlled --upload-pack option to CmdGitClient.GetLastRemoteCommitHash through POST /api/project/{id}/repositories and scheduled commit-hash polling, allowing a project Manager or Owner to execute arbitrary OS commands in the Semaphore server process. This issue is fixed in versions 2.18.17 and 2.19.5-beta2.
