CVE-2026-22792 – This vulnerability allows attackers to inject m... (How to Fix)

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious HTML that executes arbitrary JavaScript in the 5ire desktop AI assistant renderer context. This JavaScript can then call exposed bridge APIs to create unauthorized MCP servers, potentially leading to remote command execution. All users running 5ire versions before 0.15.3 are affected.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:

5ire desktop AI assistant

Versions: All versions prior to 0.15.3

Operating Systems: Windows, macOS, Linux

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Remote command execution on the victim's system, allowing full system compromise, data theft, and lateral movement.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized creation of MCP servers leading to arbitrary code execution within the application context.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if proper input validation and sandboxing prevent JavaScript execution.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Attackers can exploit via crafted content delivered through the application's interfaces.

🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Requires user interaction with malicious content but can be exploited internally.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No

Weaponized: LIKELY

Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes

Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires user interaction with malicious content but uses simple HTML injection techniques.
