Summary

Warp is an agentic development environment. From 0.2024.02.20.08.01.stable_01 until 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01, Warp contains a command injection issue in the Linux external editor launcher. Warp expanded freedesktop .desktop Exec templates for affected editor integrations and executed the expanded command through a shell. A user who opens an attacker-controlled local file path through an affected external editor or system-default editor route can cause shell syntax embedded in that path to execute as the local user. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01.
