CVE-2026-42076 — CRITICAL (9.8)

Vulnerability Description

Evolver is a GEP-powered self-evolving engine for AI agents. Prior to version 1.69.3, a command injection vulnerability in the _extractLLM() function allows attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands on the server.

This issue has been patched in version 1.69.3.
