CliInvoke and its formerly named AlastairLundy.CliInvoke package are .NET libraries for invoking command-line programs and wrapping executable processes. CliInvoke versions 2.0.0 through 2.8.4, 2.9.0 through 2.9.3, 2.10.0 through 2.10.4, and 3.0.0-alpha.1 through 3.0.0-beta.1, as well as AlastairLundy.CliInvoke versions 2.0.0-alpha.1 through 2.0.0, contain an argument-injection vulnerability in RunnerProcessFactory on the 2.x line and RunnerConfigurationFactory on the 3.x line. These factories combine runner arguments, a caller-controlled target, and caller-controlled arguments into one ProcessStartInfo.Arguments string, allowing a double quote in the target or an argument to terminate an operating-system-level quoted region and inject unintended elements into the runner’s argument vector, potentially resulting in arbitrary command execution when a shell runner is used. The vulnerability is patched in CliInvoke versions 2.8.5, 2.9.4, 2.10.5, and 3.0.0-beta.2, and in AlastairLundy.CliInvoke version 2.0.2. No complete workaround is available; users unable to upgrade can partially mitigate the issue by removing double quotes from targets and arguments, additionally removing shell metacharacters when using shell runners, or bypassing the vulnerable factory and constructing a ProcessConfiguration with an explicit ArgumentList.
CVE-2026-100369
This high-severity CVE scores 8.4 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.4% (27th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
