CVE-2026-44482
CriticalSummary
In the soundcloud-rpc application prior to version 0.1.8, a vulnerability allowed for local command execution on the user's machine through malicious SoundCloud track metadata. This metadata was trusted and forwarded to the Electron main process, enabling it to be rendered as raw HTML.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the user's device, posing a significant security risk to the system.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the application to version 0.1.8 or later to eliminate this vulnerability and secure the system against potential attacks.
Original NVD description (English source)
soundcloud-rpc is a SoundCloud Client with Discord Rich Presence, Dark Mode, Last.fm and AdBlock support. Prior to 0.1.8, a track title containing an HTML payload executed locally in the Electron app. This means attacker-controlled SoundCloud track metadata can lead to local command execution on the user's machine. The application exposes a preload API (window.soundcloudAPI.sendTrackUpdate) to the remote SoundCloud page. Track metadata from SoundCloud is trusted and forwarded through IPC into the Electron main process. The app later renders that metadata as raw HTML inside privileged Electron views that have Node.js integration enabled. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.1.8.
