Rundeck versions before 6.2.0 contain an OS command injection flaw rated 7.5 CVSS under CVE-2026-106056. Authenticated users on Windows nodes can exploit it by supplying crafted options that bypass quoting in CLIUtils.quoteWindowsCMDArg, allowing command execution with node credentials; version 6.2.0 resolves the issue.

Rundeck versions before 6.2.0 contain a high-severity OS command injection vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-106056. VulnCheck, the assigning CNA, rates it 7.5 (HIGH) under CVSS 3.1 and classifies it as CWE-78, OS command injection.
An attacker with job run permission can supply crafted option values that inject cmd.exe metacharacters such as && or | into free-text options.
The flaw affects authenticated users on Windows nodes. An attacker with job run permission can supply crafted option values that inject cmd.exe metacharacters such as && or | into free-text options. The vulnerable method CLIUtils.quoteWindowsCMDArg wraps these inputs in single quotes that fail to neutralize the characters.

Execution occurs with the privileges of the node executor credentials.
Successful exploitation can result in high confidentiality, integrity, and availability consequences on affected nodes.
Fix released in version 6.2.0. The project addressed the quoting logic in commit 807d9cf0eef63669b342e02e05a740e97f84f013 and pull request 10414. The v6.2.0 release tag marks the corrected build.
