CVE-2026-55798 · Pillow: WindowsViewer.get_command() OS command injection via unescaped shell path

This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.

Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, WindowsViewer.get_command() constructed a cmd.exe shell command by directly embedding a file path into an f-string without escaping and passed the result to subprocess.Popen(..., shell=True), allowing shell metacharacters in the file path to inject arbitrary cmd.exe commands. This issue is fixed in version 12.3.0.
