Title
CVE-2026-18482
Summary
Neo.mjs contains a command injection vulnerability within the FileSystemService.mjs component of the ai/mcp/server/file-system MCP server, where the checkSyntax() and runPlaywrightTest() functions unsafely interpolate caller-controlled absolutePath values into shell commands, enabling arbitrary OS command execution when an AI agent is induced to invoke these tools. Commit 88c77fc fixes these vulnerabilities.
