NoteGen before 0.32.0 grants the Tauri shell plugin shell:allow-execute capability for bash, python, and python3 with arbitrary arguments in the default desktop capabilities. JavaScript running in the application webview can therefore invoke plugin:shell|execute to run attacker-controlled operating system commands with the privileges of the NoteGen process. In combination with script execution in the webview (for example via chat XSS), this enables full remote code execution on the user's machine.

Fixes

Solution

Upgrade to NoteGen 0.32.0 or later. The fix removes shell:allow-execute entries that permitted bash, python, and python3 with attacker-controlled arguments from the default Tauri capabilities, closing the webview-to-OS command execution path.


Workaround

No workaround given by the vendor.
