CVE-2026-48731: Warp: Linux external editor command injection

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.88% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 59.2% of all records.
Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
Fixed version: warpdotdev warp 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to warpdotdev warp 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Warp is an agentic development environment. From 0.2024.02.20.08.01.stable_01 until 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01, Warp contains a command injection issue in the Linux external editor launcher. Warp expanded freedesktop .desktop Exec templates for affected editor integrations and executed the expanded command through a shell. A user who opens an attacker-controlled local file path through an affected external editor or system-default editor route can cause shell syntax embedded in that path to execute as the local user. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01.
