Short explanation
CVE-2026-119282 is an operating system command injection vulnerability affecting the @nx/maven and @nx/gradle plugins in the Nx monorepo solution. The project-graph analyzers launch through a shell and interpolate plugin options from nx.json into command arguments, enabling injected commands in attacker-controlled repositories.
Users running Nx in an attacker-controlled repository or pull request can execute injected commands with the user's privileges. This poses severe risks to the integrity and security of the developer environment.
What should be done?
- Upgrade both nx and each affected plugin to matching releases
- Follow the vendor advisory for specific guidance
- Ensure unaffected workspaces do not register vulnerable plugins
Chain of evidence and sources
CVE-2026-119282, @nx/maven ve @nx/gradle eklentilerindeki proje grafiği analizcilerini etkileyen bir işletim sistemi komut enjeksiyonu açığıdır.
Düzeltme, eklenti düzeltmesi nx paketindeki koda bağlı olduğu için hem nx'in hem de ilgili eklentinin eşleşen sürümlere yükseltilmesini gerektirir.
Show the technical text from the sources
Nx is a monorepo solution for TypeScript and polyglot codebases. From 22.0.2 until 22.7.9 and 23.1.2 for @nx/maven, and from 21.0.0 until 22.7.9 and 23.1.2 for @nx/gradle, the plugins' project-graph analyzers launch through a shell and interpolate plugin options from nx.json into command arguments. The @nx/maven targetNamePrefix value and arbitrary @nx/gradle option names or values can therefore be interpreted as shell syntax whenever an nx command constructs the project graph. A user who runs Nx in an attacker-controlled repository or pull request can execute injected commands with the user's privileges, while workspaces that register neither affected plugin are not exposed to this path. Remediation requires upgrading both nx and each affected plugin to matching releases because the plugin fix depends on code in the nx package. This issue is fixed in versions 22.7.9 and 23.1.2.
