CVE-2025-61492
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 · uneditedA command injection vulnerability in the execute_command function of terminal-controller-mcp 0.1.7 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted input.
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 · moderate confidenceA command injection vulnerability exists in the execute_command function of terminal-controller-mcp version 0.1.7. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands by supplying crafted input to the vulnerable function, likely due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data before passing it to a shell execution API.

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.
-
Identify if terminal-controller-mcp is installedRun 'pip show terminal-controller-mcp' or check your project's dependencies (requirements.txt, package.json, or similar) for the presence of this packageAffected if The package is installed and the version is 0.1.7
-
Verify the exact version numberCheck the installed version by running 'pip show terminal-controller-mcp' and look for the Version field, or inspect your lock files for the pinned versionAffected if The installed version is exactly 0.1.7
-
Confirm the execute_command function is exposedInspect the project's code that imports or uses the terminal-controller-mcp package; look for any API endpoints, RPC handlers, or event listeners that expose the execute_command function to user inputAffected if The execute_command function can be reached via an API, webhook, or other input mechanism accessible to untrusted users
-
Check for recent command execution logsReview application logs for entries involving terminal-controller-mcp command execution; look for unusual or unexpected commands that may indicate exploitationAffected if There are log entries showing execution of commands that were not initiated by trusted application logic
You are affected if terminal-controller-mcp version 0.1.7 is installed AND the execute_command function is exposed to untrusted input.

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.
From vendor dataUpdate to a patched version of terminal-controller-mcp if available. Otherwise, implement strict input validation and use safe API alternatives (such as exec with arguments array rather than shell string parsing) to prevent command injection.
