CVE-2026-41355
Summary
OpenShell mirror mode can convert untrusted sandbox files into explicitly enabled workspace hooks and execute them on the host during gateway startup
Current Maintainer Triage
- Status: narrow
- Normalized severity: medium
- Assessment: Real on shipped <=2026.3.22 OpenShell mirror sync, but exploit needs mirror mode plus hooks enabled plus explicit hook opt-in plus restart, so high is overstated even though the direct fix shipped in v2026.3.28.
