CVE-2026-26832 is an OS command injection vulnerability in the npm package node-tesseract-ocr, a Node.js wrapper for Tesseract OCR. The issue affects all versions through 2.2.1. According to the provided content, the flaw is in the recognize() function in src/index.js, where a file path parameter is concatenated into a shell command string and then executed via child_process.exec() without proper sanitization. Because untrusted input is incorporated into a shell command, an attacker who can control the file path argument can inject arbitrary shell metacharacters or additional commands, resulting in unintended command execution in the context of the Node.js process.
