Remote Code Execution in NoteGen Tauri Shell Plugin Configuration (CVE-2026-17497)

CVE-2026-17497 affects NoteGen versions before 0.32.0. The vulnerability is caused by an overly permissive Tauri shell plugin configuration in the default desktop capabilities that grants shell:allow-execute access for bash, python, and python3 with arbitrary arguments. As a result, JavaScript executing inside the application's webview can invoke the shell execution interface to launch attacker-controlled operating system commands with the privileges of the NoteGen process. In scenarios where an attacker can achieve script execution in the webview, such as through a cross-site scripting condition in chat content, the issue can be chained into full remote code execution on the user's machine.
