Description
Network-AI ClaudeHookBridge before 5.15.1 truncates the target string to 500 characters before evaluating denyPatterns, while Claude Code executes the full untruncated command. Attackers can position dangerous content past byte 500 in a Bash command field to bypass the operator's hard-deny list and execute arbitrary commands.

AI Analysis

Impact

Network-AI ClaudeHookBridge truncates user‑supplied target strings to 500 characters before evaluating its denyPatterns, but the underlying Claude code executes the full untruncated command. An attacker can place malicious characters just beyond the 500‑character limit in a Bash command field, thereby bypassing the hard‑deny list and forcing the system to run arbitrary shell commands. This flaw grants an attacker the ability to alter or discard confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected host, potentially compromising the entire system.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Jovancoding's Network‑AI ClaudeHookBridge product in all releases earlier than version 5.15.1.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 classifies this as a high‑severity flaw; its EPSS score is currently unavailable, and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. Based on the description, the likely attack vector is remote exploitation via any interface that accepts command strings (for example, an API or web console). The attacker must be able to supply a Bash command field that contains dangerous content after the 500‑character boundary; no special privileges are required beyond access to that interface, making the issue openly exploitable in a suitable environment.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Network‑AI ClaudeHookBridge to version 5.15.1 or newer to eliminate the truncation bug
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, enforce strict input validation that rejects command strings exceeding 500 characters or containing disallowed patterns before they are handed to the Bash executor
  • Disallow or disable the feature that allows arbitrary command execution until a vendor patch is available
  • Monitor system logs for suspicious command execution patterns and anomalous permission changes
