Virtualenv Activation Scripts Run Code From A Path That Contains A Placeholder Name

Impact "ViaTemplateActivator.instantiatetemplate" replaces the placeholders in an activation template one key at a time, each across the whole text. When a value that it already substituted and quoted contains the name of a later placeholder, the later pass rewrites that name inside the quoted...

CVE-2026-113776

A flaw was found in virtualenv. An attacker who can influence an environment's path or prompt setting can achieve arbitrary command execution when a user activates the virtual environment. This issue occurs because activation templates process substitution placeholders sequentially, allowing...

CVE-2026-113723

A flaw was found in virtualenv. This vulnerability allows arbitrary code execution if an attacker can influence the prompt text provided during environment creation. When a user subsequently activates the environment in a bash shell, the unvalidated prompt text is executed as shell syntax, allowi...

BIT-VIRTUALENV-2026-102925 virtualenv bash and fish activation scripts execute commands embedded in paths

virtualenv is a tool for creating isolated virtual python environments. Prior to 21.7.13, the generated activate bash and zsh and activate.fish scripts place values already escaped by shlex.quote inside an additional quoted context. In the bash and zsh script, a crafted virtual environment path...

GHSA-P58F-9548-MPM2 virtualenv bash and fish activation scripts execute commands embedded in paths

Impact The generated activate bash/zsh and activate.fish scripts interpolate a shlex.quote-ed value into a position that quotes it a second time. The extra quotes terminate the quoted run early and leave part of the value parsed as shell code, so a path containing shell metacharacters runs comman...
