From 2.6.0 to 2.9.0, GuardDog includes attacker-controlled filenames, file locations, messages, and code snippets in its default human-readable output without escaping terminal control characters. A malicious package can therefore inject ANSI or OSC escape sequences into analyst terminals or CI logs.","published":"2026-05-27T14:42:00.807Z","modified":"2026-08-07T11:31:12.880151415Z","cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},"epss":{"score":0.00113,"percentile":0.01612,"asOf":"2026-08-09"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"guarddog","fixedVersion":null}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/44xxx/CVE-2026-44972.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/DataDog/guarddog/security/advisories/GHSA-m5p4-gvpx-4mvr"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-44972"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-07T11:31:12.880151415Z"}}
