GHSA-p6x5-p4xf-cc4r: Remote Code Execution (RCE) via String Literal Injection into math-codegen

April 17, 2026

String literal content passed to cg.parse() is injected verbatim into a new Function() body without sanitization. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary system commands when user-controlled input reaches the parser. Any application exposing a math evaluation endpoint where user input flows into cg.parse() is vulnerable to full RCE.
