CVE-2026-33623 Â (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade github.com/pinchtab/pinchtab/cmd/pinchtab to version 0.8.5 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the Windows cleanup routine when a crafted profile name containing PowerShell metacharacters is used. An attacker can execute arbitrary PowerShell commands with the privileges of the application process user by launching an instance with a malicious profile name and triggering the cleanup path through the instance lifecycle API. This is only exploitable if the attacker has authenticated, administrative-equivalent API access to instance lifecycle endpoints on a Windows host.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by avoiding the use of user-controlled input in PowerShell command strings and by enforcing strict allowlist validation on profile names.
