CVE-2026-46709
Last modified
CVE-2026-46709 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Tabby (formerly Terminus) is a highly configurable terminal emulator. Prior to 1.0.234, Tabby inserts dropped file paths from tabby-electron/src/pathDrop.ts into the active shell without neutralizing command substitution metacharacters such as $(…) and `…`, so the incomplete CVE-2026-45038 fix for control characters still allows code execution when the victim presses Enter. EPSS estimates a 0.15% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
