What is CVE-2026-112263?

Television versions 0.15.0 to 0.15.9 contain an OS command injection vulnerability that arises from mishandled single quotes in the format_command function. This flaw permits attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of the victim user by creating a file with a specially crafted name. This action may be triggered through default editing commands, leading to potential unauthorized access and manipulation of the system.
