CVE-2026-111079 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.4 · Published 2026-10-22

Goose is a developer assistant tool that integrates with terminal shells. When terminal integration is enabled, the application captures shell command history and sends it to external Large Language Model providers without removing sensitive data like API tokens and passwords. An attacker or external service provider could intercept or access this unredacted information, leading to credential theft and unauthorized access to systems and services.

## Technical details

The vulnerability is an information exposure flaw (CWE-497) in Goose's terminal integration feature, which captures shell command history and transmits it verbatim to configured LLM endpoints without sanitization. The attack vector is network-based and requires user interaction—specifically, a user must enable terminal integration and execute assistant queries that include sensitive data in their command history. An attacker or malicious LLM provider can read transmitted credentials, API tokens, and environment variables.
