CVE-2026-54162 is an improper neutralization of terminal escape and control sequences vulnerability in Ember's interactive text user interface when rendering Caddy access log fields. Attacker-controlled data originating from HTTP requests to a monitored Caddy server can be written into access logs and then displayed by Ember without sufficient sanitization, allowing terminal control sequences to be interpreted by the operator's terminal emulator instead of being rendered as inert text. The issue affects interactive TUI usage and enables terminal injection through remotely supplied, unauthenticated input reflected in log content.
