CVE-2024-41997
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAn issue was discovered in version of Warp Terminal prior to 2024.07.18 (v0.2024.07.16.08.02). A command injection vulnerability exists in the Docker integration functionality. An attacker can create a specially crafted hyperlink using the `warp://action/docker/open_subshell` intent that when clicked by the victim results in command execution on the victim's machine.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA command injection vulnerability exists in Warp Terminal's Docker integration. Attackers can craft malicious hyperlinks using the warp://action/docker/open_subshell URL scheme that, when clicked by a victim, execute arbitrary commands on the victim's machine.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check Warp Terminal versionOpen Warp Terminal and run 'warp --version' or click the Warp menu > About Warp to view the installed version numberAffected if The installed version is earlier than v0.2024.07.18
-
Verify Docker integration is configuredCheck if Docker is installed and accessible from Warp by running 'docker ps' within Warp TerminalAffected if Docker is installed and accessible from Warp, and the version check shows an affected version
-
Confirm warp:// protocol handler is registeredAttempt to register or check for the warp:// URL scheme handler by visiting a warp:// link, or inspect system URL scheme registrationsAffected if The warp:// protocol handler is active and the Warp version is affected
You are affected if Warp Terminal version is earlier than v0.2024.07.18 and you have Docker integration enabled with the warp:// URL scheme handler present on your system.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUsers should upgrade to Warp Terminal v0.2024.07.18 or later. Avoid clicking untrusted hyperlinks using the warp:// protocol, particularly those related to Docker operations.
Warp Terminal v0.2024.07.16.08.02 or later (2024.07.18 release)
- Verify current Warp Terminal version by checking the application or its about/settings page
- Download Warp Terminal version 2024.07.18 (v0.2024.07.16.08.02) or later from the official Warp website or GitHub releases
- Install the updated version of Warp Terminal, ensuring the Docker integration components are updated
- Restart Warp Terminal to ensure all components load the updated version
- Verify the fix by confirming the Docker integration works normally without processing untrusted warp:// URLs
