CVE-2026-110005 Komodo CVE debrief

Who should care

System administrators and security teams responsible for managing and securing Komodo installations should assess exposure and prioritize remediation. They should also review and restrict user permissions, implement additional monitoring and logging, and verify user permissions and access controls.

Why it matters

CVE-2026-110005 is an OS command injection vulnerability in Moghtech Komodo version 2.2.0. An authenticated low-privileged user can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands as root on managed hosts. System administrators and security teams should assess exposure, prioritize remediation, and implement additional monitoring and logging to detect suspicious activity.

• Potential for arbitrary command execution as root on managed hosts.
• Possible lateral movement and escalation of privileges.
• Need for verification of user permissions and access controls.
• Requirement for monitoring and logging of suspicious activity.

Technical summary

The `periphery` agent's container-management functionality of Komodo version 2.2.0 contains an OS command injection vulnerability. An authenticated low-privileged user with `Execute`, or `Read` plus `Logs`, permission on a managed server can supply shell metacharacters in a container name processed by the `DestroyContainer` or `SearchContainerLog` operations. The container name is interpolated without escaping into a command executed using `sh -c`, allowing arbitrary commands to execute as root on the managed host. This permits a user without Komodo's `Terminal` permission to obtain unrestricted host-level command execution. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation and sanitization of user-sup.

Defensive priority

High

Recommended defensive actions

• Review and restrict user permissions for the `periphery` agent's container-management functionality.
• Update Komodo to version 2.3.0 or later.
• Monitor container names for suspicious activity.
• Implement additional logging and monitoring for the `DestroyContainer` and `SearchContainerLog` operations.
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up.
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified.
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review.
