CVE-2026-71551
HighCVSS 7.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk6th percentile - higher than 6% of all known CVEs
Summary
Super Productivity prior to 18.13.0 contains a vulnerability in the EXEC IPC handler that accepts a command string from the renderer and executes it with child_process.exec(). The preload.js bridge exposes window.ea.exec() to renderer code, including community plugins, without requiring nodeExecution permission. A confirmation dialog protects only the first execution, and approved commands are stored in ALLOWED_COMMANDS for silent later execution with the desktop account's privileges.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes the possibility of executing arbitrary system commands by malicious plugins or scripts, which could lead to full compromise of the user's system.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Super Productivity to version 18.13.0 or later, which includes the fix.
Original NVD description (English source)
Super Productivity is an advanced todo list app with integrated timeboxing and time tracking capabilities. Prior to 18.13.0, the EXEC IPC handler in electron/ipc-handlers/exec.ts accepts a command string from the renderer through the IPC.EXEC channel and executes it with child_process.exec(). The electron/preload.ts bridge exposes window.ea.exec() to renderer code, including community plugins executed with new Function(), without requiring nodeExecution permission. A confirmation dialog protects only the first execution, its persistence checkbox is selected by default, and approved commands are stored in the ALLOWED_COMMANDS value in simpleSettings for silent later execution with the desktop account's privileges. This issue is fixed in version 18.13.0.
