Prior to 21.14.7, the bash activate script escapes the environment name for only one of the two passes bash makes over PS1, so a backslash in the name undoes the escaping and a name containing \\$(...) runs as commands in the user's shell each time bash draws the prompt. This issue is fixed in version 21.14.7.","published":"2026-10-20T20:17:19.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-22T16:47:38.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"security-advisories@github.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-78","CWE-116"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00193,"percentile":0.08872,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-10-21","score":0.00155,"percentile":0.04238}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.19%).
