Summary
Warp is an agentic development environment. From 0.2023.03.21.08.02.stable_00 until 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01, Warp contains a command injection issue in the legacy SSH background command path. Warp used the remote working directory reported by the session when building helper commands for SSH-backed metadata collection. A remote host, repository, or directory name controlled by an attacker could cause that helper command to execute additional shell syntax on the remote host as the victim's authenticated SSH account. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_01.
