Hoppscotch is an open source API development ecosystem. Prior to 2026.6.0, the updateInfraConfigs GraphQL mutation in admin/infra.resolver.ts accepts an attacker-controlled MAILER_SMTP_URL value, and validateSMTPUrl in utils.ts permits path, query, or fragment content that nodemailer parses into sendmail transport options, allowing an admin to execute arbitrary commands as root in the backend container after restart and mail sending. This issue is fixed in version 2026.6.0.
CVE-2026-59721
This high-severity CVE scores 7.2 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.5%, top 60% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. 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).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
