Command Injection in Nebula-Mesh VPN Control Plane

Publication date: 2026-07-23

Last updated on: 2026-07-23

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description
nebula-mesh is a self-hosted control plane for Slack Nebula mesh virtual private network. Prior to version 0.3.2, `internal/configgen/generator.go:86,108,119` interpolates the operator-supplied `ListenHost` and `TunDevice` fields raw into a `text/template` that produces the agent's `config.yml`. `internal/web/advanced.go:20-35` accepts both with only `strings.TrimSpace` — no character or shape validation. Version 0.3.2 fixes the issue.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-47722 is a YAML injection vulnerability in nebula-mesh versions before 0.3.2. It occurs because user-supplied fields like ListenHost and TunDevice are directly interpolated into a text template without proper validation or escaping. This allows attackers with operator privileges to inject malicious YAML payloads into the agent's config.yml file.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if your nebula-mesh version is below 0.3.2. Run: nebula-mesh version. Inspect configuration files for unexpected YAML structures or special characters in ListenHost or TunDevice fields.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to escalate privileges, such as promoting a host to a lighthouse or relay, or altering hidden configuration flags. Even with authorization fixes, the agent blindly trusts server-provided configs, making exploitation still possible.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade to nebula-mesh version 0.3.2 or later. If upgrading is not possible, restrict ListenHost and TunDevice to safe character sets in parseAdvancedFromForm or disable advanced overrides until patched.
