Technical details

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the `ExecTool.Execute` function within `internal/agent/tools/exec.go`. The component attempts to restrict command execution using a blacklist of dangerous programs and basic path validation; however, it only validates the first element of an input array. An attacker can bypass these checks by using shell wrappers like `sh -c` or `bash -lc` to execute arbitrary payloads. This allows for arbitrary command execution under the context of the Picobot process. The vulnerability is reachable via the default agent loop and has been demonstrated using a local OpenAI-compatible stub provider. As of the advisory date, no patch has been released by the maintainer.
