CVE-2026-0755: gemini-mcp-tool vulnerable to OS command injection and @file exfiltration via prompt quoting (CVE-2026-0755)

June 18, 2026

Untrusted prompt input could reach the Gemini CLI @file parser, allowing read/exfiltration of arbitrary local files (@/etc/passwd, @~/.ssh/id_rsa, @../../secret). On Windows, unquoted cmd.exe metacharacters could break out into OS command injection.

Fix (1.1.6): removed the broken shell:false double-quote wrapping; added assertSafeFileReferences() to contain @file refs to the working directory; hardened Windows cmd.exe argument quoting.
