CVE-2026-31862
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 · uneditedCloud CLI (aka Claude Code UI) is a desktop and mobile UI for Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, and Gemini-CLI. Prior to 1.24.0, multiple Git-related API endpoints use execAsync() with string interpolation of user-controlled parameters (file, branch, message, commit), allowing authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.24.0.
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 confidenceMultiple Git-related API endpoints in Cloud CLI (versions prior to 1.24.0) use execAsync() with string interpolation of user-controlled parameters (file, branch, message, commit), allowing authenticated attackers to inject and execute arbitrary OS commands through the affected Git API functions.

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 installed Cloud CLI versionRun `cloudcli --version` or check the package manager output (e.g., `npm list cloudcli` if installed via npm, or check the binary version)Affected if The version number returned is lower than 1.24.0 (e.g., 1.23.x, 1.22.x, etc.)
-
Verify Git API endpoint exposureCheck API gateway or proxy configurations for routes matching patterns like `/git/*`, `/api/git/*`, or similar Git-related endpoints exposed by Cloud CLIAffected if Git-related API endpoints (file, branch, message, commit handlers) are publicly or loosely accessible
-
Confirm execAsync Git module is loadedInspect running Cloud CLI process or configuration files for loaded modules related to Git operations (look for imports of Git execution modules in the codebase or runtime environment)Affected if The Git execution module using execAsync is present and loaded in the running configuration
-
Check authentication settings on Git endpointsReview access control lists, API authentication configurations, or IAM policies governing the Git API endpointsAffected if Git API endpoints allow access from untrusted or unauthenticated users, or use weak authentication
-
Audit recent Git command logsExamine Cloud CLI logs, system audit logs, or command execution logs for patterns of Git commands with unusual parameters (especially those containing shell metacharacters like `;`, `|`, `&`, `$()`, backticks)Affected if Logs show Git commands with suspicious parameter patterns indicative of injection attempts
The environment is affected if Cloud CLI version is below 1.24.0 AND Git-related API endpoints are accessible, as the execAsync function with unsanitized user input enables command injection.

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 · scoped1.24.0
Upgrade to version 1.24.0 or later, which implements secure handling of user-controlled parameters in execAsync() calls.
1.24.0
- Check the currently installed version of Cloud CLI (e.g., cloud --version or cloud cli --version)
- Upgrade Cloud CLI to version 1.24.0 or later using the appropriate package manager or installation method (e.g., npm install -g cloud@latest, pip install --upgrade cloud, or download from the official source)
- Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the installed version matches or exceeds 1.24.0
