CVE-2026-26982 (GCVE-0-2026-26982)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-03-09 21:14 – Updated: 2026-03-10 15:03

Title
Ghostty affected by arbitrary command execution via control characters in paste and drag-and-drop operations
Summary
Ghostty is a cross-platform terminal emulator. Ghostty allows control characters such as 0x03 (Ctrl+C) in pasted and dropped text. These can be used to execute arbitrary commands in some shell environments. This attack requires an attacker to convince the user to copy and paste or drag and drop malicious text. The attack requires user interaction to be triggered, but the dangerous characters are invisible in most GUI environments so it isn't trivially detected, especially if the string contents are complex. Fixed in Ghostty v1.3.0.
Severity ?

CVE-2024-56803 (GCVE-0-2024-56803)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-12-31 22:48 – Updated: 2025-01-02 16:09

Title
Ghostty improperly handles window title sequences which can lead to arbitrary command execution
Summary
Ghostty is a cross-platform terminal emulator. Ghostty, as allowed by default in 1.0.0, allows attackers to modify the window title via a certain character escape sequence and then insert it back to the command line in the user's terminal, e.g. when the user views a file containing the malicious sequence, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands. This attack requires an attacker to send malicious escape sequences followed by convincing the user to physically press the "enter" key. Fixed in Ghostty v1.0.1.
Severity ?
5.1 (Medium)
