Command Injection in Warp Prompt Branch Selector

IdentifiersCVE-2026-48719CWE-77

CVE-2026-48719 is a command injection vulnerability in Warp, an agentic development environment. Affected versions range from 0.2025.08.06.08.12.stable_00 up to, but not including, the fixed release 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01. The flaw exists in Warp’s prompt branch selector, where a Git branch name can be handled in a way that allows shell interpretation. An attacker who can publish a branch to a Git repository that is opened in Warp can supply a crafted branch name; if a victim selects that branch from the Warp UI, the branch name may be interpreted by the victim’s shell, resulting in command injection.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can cause arbitrary shell command execution in the security context of the victim using Warp. Because the injected commands run via the victim’s shell, the attacker may be able to read or modify accessible data, alter repository contents or local files, execute additional tooling, and disrupt system or developer workflow. The provided CVSS context indicates high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate patching is not possible, avoid opening or interacting with untrusted repositories in Warp, and do not select branches from repositories where untrusted users can publish branch names. Restrict who can create or push branches to shared repositories opened in Warp, and inform users to avoid crafted or suspicious branch names until the fixed version is deployed.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Warp to version 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01 or later, which fixes the prompt branch selector command injection issue. Ensure all affected installations are updated to the fixed release.
