Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects HKUDS OpenHarness. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

OpenHarness prior to commit dd1d235 contains a command injection vulnerability that allows remote gateway users with chat access to invoke sensitive administrative commands by exploiting insufficient distinction between local-only and remote-safe commands in the gateway handler. Attackers can execute administrative commands such as /permissions full_auto through remote chat sessions to change permission modes of a running OpenHarness instance without operator authorization.
