DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Zed is a code editor. Prior to 0.229.0, Zed's terminal tool permission system can be bypassed via bash variable expansion chaining (${var@P}), allowing arbitrary command execution under an allowlisted command prefix. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.229.0.

AnalysisAI

We are tasked to synthesize data from multiple intelligence sources about CVE-2026-44462 into a comprehensive JSON analysis, following strict rules. The provided data includes a description, CVSS vector, EPSS, tags, SSVC, CPE, etc. Need to produce a JSON object with fields: product_name, summary, technical_context, risk_assessment, affected_products, remediation, exploit_scenario, exploitation_conditions, attack_chain, confidence_notes, prevalence, prevalence_basis, assessed_cvss_vector, assessed_cvss_rationale, assessed_cvss40_vector.

First, parse the input: CVE ID, description, CVSS 6.4 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L, CWE-184 (Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs), EPSS 0.05% (low), Patch available, reported by GitHub_M, CPE for zed from zed-industries, tags RCE and Zed, SSVC: exploitation poc, automatable no, technical impact total. Affected versions from EUVD: zed < 0.229.0. Reference: GitHub advisory.

Now, product_name: "Zed" (the code editor). Must be 1-3 words. So "Zed".

Summary: Need to synthesize, not copy description. Start with impact verb and product. "Remote code execution via terminal tool permission bypass affects Zed code editor versions prior to 0.229.0." Need to mention that it's a bypass using bash variable expansion chaining, allows arbitrary command execution under an allowlisted command prefix. Mention if actively exploited? KEV status? The data doesn't mention KEV. Input says "Reported by: GitHub_M" but no KEV tag. So no known active exploitation. SSVC says "exploitation: poc", so POC exists but not known exploited. So: "publically available exploit code exists". EPSS 0.05% so low exploitation probability. So summary: "Remote code execution in Zed editor terminal tool permission system allows command injection via bash variable expansion chaining (${var@P}), bypassing allowlisted prefixes. Affects all versions before 0.229.0. No active exploitation confirmed, but proof-of-concept code is available."
