Prior to 2.1.14 and 3.0.1, getEscapeFunction in src/internal/win/cmd.js does not escape `(` and `)` when applications use the escape or escapeAll APIs on Windows with shell set to cmd.exe, or with shell set to true when CMD is the default. An attacker-controlled argument can break out of a parenthesized CMD construct and inject shell syntax depending on the original command, resulting in arbitrary command execution. This issue is fixed in versions 2.1.14 and 3.0.1.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-12T20:17:56.51+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-24T15:10:00.19+00:00","affected":[],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 4.0 · security-advisories@github.com · Secondary","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X","score":9.2,"severity":"CRITICAL"}],"references":["https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/commit/43d70b59d09bbe5c3fd02ef08b3a123e977ed9de","https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/commit/b4b34c394e7f9da2775bb75381066b9a228c425f","https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/pull/2649","https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/pull/2651","https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/releases/tag/v2.1.14","https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/releases/tag/v3.0.1","https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/security/advisories/GHSA-w4hw-qcx7-56pr"],"sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-73414","license":"NIST NVD usage terms; underlying source attribution retained","enrichment":{"sourceStatus":"Deferred","weaknesses":["CWE-78","CWE-150"],"productCriteria":[],"sourceDates":{"published":"2026-08-12T20:17:56.510","lastModified":"2026-10-24T15:10:00.190"},"relatedAdvisories":[],"note":"NVD analysis and CPE criteria are source context, not proof that a package or your environment is affected.
