CVE-2026-48097

NexTor IP Changer is a command-line tool that leverages the Tor network to periodically rotate a user's IP address. Versions prior to 2.0.0 have a command execution vulnerability due to unsafe use of `shell=True` with commands that rely on executable resolution through the `PATH` environment variable. An attacker controlling the execution environment can place malicious executables such as sudo earlier in the `PATH`, resulting in execution of attacker-controlled code. Version 2.0.0 fixes the issue.

Summary		(es) NexTor IP Changer es una herramienta de línea de comandos que aprovecha la red Tor para rotar periódicamente la dirección IP de un usuario. Las versiones anteriores a la 2.0.0 tienen una vulnerabilidad de ejecución de comandos debido al uso inseguro de “shell=True” con comandos que dependen de la resolución de ejecutables a través de la variable de entorno “PATH”. Un atacante que controla el entorno de ejecución puede colocar ejecutables maliciosos como sudo antes en la “PATH”, lo que resulta en la ejecución de código controlado por el atacante. La versión 2.0.0 corrige el problema.
