Trigger arrives via attacker-influenced content the operator runs the agent on (UI:R); primitive is out-of-workspace file write, so I:H, A:L for overwrite risk, and C:N since it does not directly read data.

An arbitrary file write vulnerability in Mistral Vibe, introduced in version 1.3.4, allows an attacker to create or overwrite files outside the active workspace without user approval. Shell redirection destinations are omitted from permission checks, enabling otherwise allowlisted commands to write to arbitrary paths accessible to the Vibe process.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary file write in Mistral Vibe (the AI coding agent), introduced in version 1.3.4, lets an attacker create or overwrite files anywhere the Vibe process can reach - without triggering the tool's user-approval gate. The root cause is that shell redirection targets (e.g. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the attacker can influence a command the Vibe agent executes and that the command is on Vibe's allowlist (or otherwise auto-approved), then append a shell redirection whose destination lies outside the active workspace. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor CVSS 4.0 score is 9.3 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, which maps the impact as high across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. … 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 | No vendor-released patched version is identified in the available data, so treat the primary control as configuration hardening until Mistral publishes a fixed release: consult the HiddenLayer advisory (https://www.hiddenlayer.com/sai-security-advisory/2026-09-mistral-vibe2) and Mistral's channels for an update and upgrade past 1.3.4 once available. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Conduct an immediate inventory of all Mistral Vibe deployments to identify systems running version 1.3.4 or later, with priority focus on development and CI/CD infrastructure. …
