Summary

docker-compose-remote-api through 0.1.4 allows execution of arbitrary commands. Within 'index.js' of the package, the function 'exec(serviceName, cmd, fnStdout, fnStderr, fnExit)' uses the variable 'serviceName' which can be controlled by users without any sanitization.

Exploit prediction

2.71% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 86% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
