Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute shell-provided content outside the intended allowlist rule.
The vulnerability exists due to command injection in the strict inline-eval checks for shell carrier handling when processing a command request that combines allowlisted tools with shell positional arguments.
