Package

Natro Macro (AutoHotkey)

Affected versions

< 1.1.0

Patched versions

1.1.0

Description

Impact

Anyone with Discord Remote Control set up in a non-private channel gives access to any user with the permission to send message in said channel access to do anything on their computer. This includes keyboard and mouse inputs and full file access.

Patches

Versions >=1.1.0 are patched to include a userID/roleID to whitelist the commands to. This prevents unknown users from running any remote control commands.

Workarounds

Keeping your command channel and server private. The best way to stop this issue from happening is to not give anyone access to abuse it. If you do add people to the server, make sure that the channel itself does not give other users permission to send messages (and thus the permission to control your macro/pc).

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

CVE ID

CVE-2026-28800

Weaknesses

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. Learn more on MITRE.

Improper Authentication

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. Learn more on MITRE.

Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type

The product allows the upload or transfer of dangerous file types that are automatically processed within its environment. Learn more on MITRE.
