Zed is a code editor. Prior to 0.227.1, Zed IDE executes arbitrary commands when opening a folder with a malicious .git/config file that abuses the core.fsmonitor Git configuration option. This allows an attacker to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) when a victim open a folder in untrusted mode. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.227.1.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Zed code editor versions prior to 0.227.1 occurs when a user opens a folder containing a malicious .git/config file that abuses the core.fsmonitor Git configuration option. The flaw triggers even in untrusted mode, defeating the safety boundary users expect when opening unknown repositories, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis though the advisory is published by the vendor.
