DescriptionCVE.org

Improper neutralization of special elements used in a command ('command injection') in GitHub Copilot and Visual Studio Code allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information over a network.

AnalysisAI

Command injection (CWE-77) in Visual Studio Code versions prior to 1.136.2 and GitHub Copilot enables a network-based attacker without authentication to trigger disclosure of sensitive information when a targeted developer interacts with specially crafted content. The attack requires high complexity (AC:H) and user interaction (UI:R), yielding a CVSS 5.3 Medium score that reflects real exploitation barriers. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the targeted developer interacts with attacker-controlled content inside VS Code or through GitHub Copilot (UI:R mandatory) - for example, opening a malicious repository, processing a crafted file, or acting on an AI-completion result derived from attacker-supplied input. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 5.3 Medium score reflects genuine, concrete exploitation barriers: high attack complexity (AC:H) and mandatory user interaction (UI:R) together substantially suppress both opportunistic and automated exploitation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade Visual Studio Code to version 1.136.2 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch per the MSRC advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-81380. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
