Ghostty · Ghostty · CVE-2026-26982
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Ghostty versions prior to 1.3.0
**Description**
Ghostty allows control characters, such as 0x03 (Ctrl+C), within pasted or dropped text. These characters can be leveraged to execute arbitrary commands in certain shell environments. Successful exploitation requires an attacker to trick a user into copying and pasting or dragging and dropping malicious text. The dangerous characters are generally not visible in most graphical user interfaces, making detection difficult, particularly with complex strings.
**Recommendations**
Update to Ghostty version 1.3.0 or later.
