# CVE-2026-45626: Arcane: OS Command Injection in Volume Browser ListDirectory via path query parameter

- Also known as: GO-2026-5292, GHSA-9MVM-4GWG-V8MP
- Severity: CVSS 6.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2026-05-29 · Updated: 2026-06-01

## Affected

- getarcaneapp arcane: through 1.18.1
- github.com/getarcaneapp/arcane/backend (Go): all versions
- github.com/getarcaneapp/arcane/backend (Go): through 1.18.1

## Description

Arcane is an interface for managing Docker containers, images, networks, and volumes. In 1.18.1 and earlier, GET /environments/{id}/volumes/{volumeName}/browse accepts a path query parameter that is passed to a shell command (sh -c "find … | while …") inside an Arcane helper container. The path sanitiser blocks ../ traversal but does not strip Bourne-shell metacharacters such as $() or backticks, and strconv.Quote only escapes Go string metacharacters, not shell substitution sequences. Any authenticated user with access to a browseable volume can execute arbitrary commands inside the helper container; command output is reflected back in the 500 error body.

## What to do
