CVE-2026-0758

7.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This is a command injection vulnerability in the mcp-server-siri-shortcuts software that allows local attackers to escalate privileges. Attackers with initial low-privileged access can inject malicious commands through the shortcutName parameter to execute arbitrary code as the service account. Only systems running vulnerable versions of mcp-server-siri-shortcuts are affected.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • mcp-server-siri-shortcuts
Versions: All versions prior to patch
Operating Systems: All platforms running mcp-server-siri-shortcuts
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Requires mcp-server-siri-shortcuts to be installed and running with vulnerable parameter handling.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

Recommended Actions:
  1. Review the CVE details at NVD
  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Full system compromise with attacker gaining root/system-level privileges, installing persistent backdoors, and accessing all data on the system.

🟠

Likely Case

Privilege escalation from low-privileged user to service account, enabling lateral movement within the environment and data exfiltration.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited to low-privileged user capabilities with no privilege escalation possible.

🌐 Internet-Facing: LOW - Requires local access and initial low-privileged code execution.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Internal attackers with initial access can escalate privileges to compromise the entire system.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

Requires existing low-privileged access to the system. Command injection is straightforward once initial access is obtained.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check vendor advisory for specific patched version

Vendor Advisory: https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-26-024/

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Check current mcp-server-siri-shortcuts version. 2. Update to latest patched version from official vendor source. 3. Restart the mcp-server-siri-shortcuts service. 4. Verify the update was successful.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation Enforcement

all

Implement strict input validation for shortcutName parameter to reject special characters and shell metacharacters

# Configure application to validate shortcutName parameter
# Example regex: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$

Service Account Restriction

linux

Run mcp-server-siri-shortcuts with minimal necessary privileges

# Create dedicated low-privilege user
sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false mcp-service
# Run service with restricted user
sudo -u mcp-service mcp-server-siri-shortcuts

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network segmentation to isolate systems running vulnerable software
  • Apply principle of least privilege to all user accounts and service accounts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if mcp-server-siri-shortcuts is installed and running with unpatched version

Check Version:

mcp-server-siri-shortcuts --version or check package manager

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify mcp-server-siri-shortcuts version is updated to patched version and test shortcutName parameter validation

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual command execution patterns from mcp-server-siri-shortcuts process
  • Privilege escalation attempts in system logs
  • Suspicious shortcutName parameter values containing shell metacharacters

Network Indicators:

  • Unexpected outbound connections from mcp-server-siri-shortcuts service account

SIEM Query:

process_name="mcp-server-siri-shortcuts" AND (command_line CONTAINS ";" OR command_line CONTAINS "|" OR command_line CONTAINS "&")
