CVE-2026-17497
HighCVSS 8.3Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk38th percentile - higher than 38% of all known CVEs
Summary
NoteGen before version 0.32.0 grants the Tauri shell plugin shell:allow-execute capability for bash, python, and python3 with arbitrary arguments by default. JavaScript in the application webview can invoke plugin:shell|execute to run attacker-controlled OS commands with NoteGen process privileges.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can achieve full remote code execution on the user's machine, leading to complete system compromise.
Recommendation
Upgrade NoteGen to version 0.32.0 or later, which removes excessive shell plugin permissions.
Other vulnerabilities in NoteGen
See all- CVE-2026-111935Low
NoteGen through 0.38.3 contains an external control of file path vulnerability in chat image analysis that allows attackers to read local image files via unvalidated synced sourceUrl paths. Attackers with write access to the victim's sync target can plant absolute paths or file:// URLs, causing image_inspect to send local images to the AI provider.
- CVE-2026-17496High
NoteGen before version 0.32.0 renders AI chat responses with markdown-it configured with html:true and injects the result into the DOM via dangerouslySetInnerHTML without HTML sanitization and with CSP set to null. Attacker-controlled content can cause the model response to include executable markup, leading to XSS in the application context.
Original NVD description (English source)
NoteGen before 0.32.0 grants the Tauri shell plugin shell:allow-execute capability for bash, python, and python3 with arbitrary arguments in the default desktop capabilities. JavaScript running in the application webview can therefore invoke plugin:shell|execute to run attacker-controlled operating system commands with the privileges of the NoteGen process. In combination with script execution in the webview (for example via chat XSS), this enables full remote code execution on the user's machine.
