CVE-2026-41507
Remote Code Execution (RCE) via String Literal Injection into math-codegen
math-codegen generates code from mathematical expressions. Prior to version 0.4.3, string literal content passed to cg.parse() is injected verbatim into a new Function() body without sanitization. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary system commands when user-controlled input reaches the parser. Any application exposing a math evaluation endpoint where user input flows into cg.parse() is vulnerable to full RCE. This issue has been patched in version 0.4.3.

Remote Code Execution (RCE) via String Literal Injection into math-codegen
Impact
String literal content passed to cg.parse() is injected verbatim into a new Function() body without sanitization. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary system commands when user-controlled input reaches the parser. Any application exposing a math evaluation endpoint where user input flows into cg.parse() is vulnerable to full RCE.
Patches
The vulnerability is addressed by using JSON.stringify() on string literal values in lib/node/ConstantNode.js to ensure they are treated as data rather than code. Users should upgrade to version 0.4.3 or later.
Workarounds
Avoid passing un-sanitized user input to the parser or manually escape string literals in the input.
