This issue affects some unknown processing of the component Binary Handler. The manipulation results in os command injection. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-4946. The attack may be performed from remote. There is no available exploit. It is advisable to upgrade the affected component. Detailsinfo A vulnerability was found in NSA Ghidra up to 12.0.2. It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown functionality of the component Binary Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a os command injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-78. The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes: Ghidra versions prior to 12.0.3 improperly process annotation directives embedded in automatically extracted binary data, resulting in arbitrary command execution when an analyst interacts with the UI. Specifically, the @execute annotation (which is intended for trusted, user-authored comments) is also parsed in comments generated during auto-analysis (such as CFStrings in Mach-O binaries). This allows a crafted binary to present seemingly benign clickable text which, when clicked, executes attacker-controlled commands on the analyst’s machine. The weakness was presented with Mobasi Security Team as GHSA-mc3p-mq2p-xw6v. The advisory is available at takeonme.org. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2026-4946 since 03/27/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. This vulnerability is assigned to T1202 by the MITRE ATT&CK project. Upgrading to version 12.0.3 eliminates this vulnerability. The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at EUVD (EUVD-2026-17042).
