## Summary Nextest versions between 0.9.125 and 0.9.149 (inclusive) allow the (or ) command with a malicious [portable recording](https://nexte.st/docs/features/record-replay-rerun/portable-recordings/) to run arbitrary code during the build. The result is arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running . This vulnerability requires that the experimental [run recording](https://nexte.st/docs/features/record-replay-rerun/) functionality is enabled. An attacker can plausibly trick a victim into enabling this feature. ## Details Nextest's portable recordings contain [build scope
