{"id":"CVE-2026-48116","summary":"AnythingLLM: RCE via ripgrep --pre argument injection in filesystem-search-files agent skill","details":"AnythingLLM is an application that turns pieces of content into context that any LLM can use as references during chatting. Prior to 1.13.0, the filesystem-search-files agent skill passes its LLM-controlled pattern parameter to ripgrep as a positional argument without a -- end-of-options separator. ripgrep parses any argument that starts with - as an option, so a pattern of --pre=/bin/sh turns ripgrep into a script executor: it runs /bin/sh \u003cfile\u003e for every file it walks. An attacker who can chat with an agent on a deployment with the filesystem plugin enabled (the default in the official Docker image) can use this, together with the sibling filesystem-write-text-file skill, to run arbitrary commands inside the AnythingLLM server container. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.13.0.","aliases":["GHSA-6hrp-7mw6-8v59"],"modified":"2026-07-23T03:56:35.315053166Z","published":"2026-05-28T21:19:51.965Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-77","CWE-88"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/48xxx/CVE-2026-48116.json","cna_assigner":"GitHub_M"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/48xxx/CVE-2026-48116.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/security/advisories/GHSA-6hrp-7mw6-8v59"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-48116"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/commit/94ed62d320df1a06c229e4bc3ee09c2cb5111b33"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/mintplex-labs/anything-llm","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"9fe6bbfb09c07628784213e9192a19d2f12bb2a7"},{"fixed":"94ed62d320df1a06c229e4bc3ee09c2cb5111b33"}],"database_specific":{"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:mintplexlabs:anythingllm:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.13.0"}],"source":["CPE_RANGE","REFERENCES"]}}],"versions":["v1.12.1","v1.12.0","v1.11.2","v1.11.1","v1.11.0","v1.10.0","v1.9.1","v1.9.0","v1.8.5","v1.8.4","v1.8.3","v1.8.2","v1.8.1","v1.8.0","v1.7.8","v1.7.6","v1.7.5","v1.7.4","v1.4.0","v1.3.0","v1.2.3","v1.2.2","v1.2.1","v1.2.0","v1.1.1","v1.1.0","v1.0.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-48116.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
