# CVE-2025-61492: terminal-controller-mcp vulnerable to Command Injection

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Not in CISA KEV , but CISA’s SSVC assessment records a public proof-of-concept, so attack code exists.
- EPSS 2.1% , percentile 82: FIRST’s model estimates a 2.1% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 82% of all scored CVEs (elevated). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes terminal-controller (PyPI) <= 0.1.7, no fixed version listed . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

A command injection vulnerability in the executecommand function of terminal-controller-mcp 0.1.7 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted input.

## Affected packages

- PyPI `terminal-controller` <= 0.1.7 → fixed: none listed

## Affected products (CVE record)

- n/a n/a: see advisory

## Severity

- CISA-ADP CVSS 3.1: 10 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`
- GitHub CVSS 3.1: 10.0 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation poc , automatable yes , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 2.14% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 82.
