      <title>CVE-2026-118905 — nvm_ls lets an untrusted version string inject sed commands, executing arbitrary commands with GNU sed</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-118905</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; nvm-sh nvm&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node Version Manager (nvm) is a POSIX-compliant shell function for managing multiple node.js versions. In versions 0.31.2 through 0.40.5, `nvm_ls` filters installed versions with a sed program that embeds the requested version pattern in a `\#...#` address, escaping `.` (and, since 0.40.4, `#`) but not backslash. A version string containing `#` (or `\#`) therefore closes the address early, and the rest of it is parsed as sed commands: with GNU sed, the `e` command runs a shell command as the user; with BSD sed, the `w` and `r` commands write and read files. This is reachable whenever an attacker-influenced version string is passed to `nvm use`, `nvm which`, `nvm ls`, `nvm version`, `nvm run`, or `nvm exec`, or to `nvm-exec` via `NODE_VERSION`, and at least one version is installed. nvm&amp;#39;s own `.nvmrc` parser strips comments, so a bare `nvm use` is not affected; however, the bash `cdnvm` and zsh `load-nvmrc` auto-switch hooks documented in the README read `.nvmrc` as-is and pass it to `nvm ls` and `nvm version`, so a user with one of those hooks installed runs the attacker&amp;#39;s command just by changing into a directory under a malicious `.nvmrc`; scripts that run `nvm use &amp;#34;$(cat .nvmrc)&amp;#34;` are affected the same way. Version 0.40.6 passes any version pattern containing `#` or a newline through the `.nvmrc` content parser first, so no `#` reaches the sed program.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
