9.6 CRITICAL

Payload is delivered via attacker content but the victim must run the agent on it, so UI:R; the bypass escapes the approval boundary to run OS code (S:C) with full C/I/A impact and no attacker auth (PR:N).

DescriptionCVE.org

An arbitrary code execution vulnerability in Mistral Vibe allows an attacker to bypass command permission checks using shell constructs it's parser cannot interpret. Unparsed portions are omitted from inspection, enabling embedded commands to execute on the user's system without approval.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary code execution in Mistral AI's Mistral Vibe agentic coding assistant lets attackers smuggle commands past the built-in command-approval gate by wrapping them in shell constructs the tool's parser cannot interpret; the unparsed fragments are silently dropped from the permission inspection and then handed to the shell, so embedded commands run on the user's machine without the expected approval prompt. All versions covered by the mistralai:mistral-vibe CPE are affected. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that Mistral Vibe process attacker-controlled input and reach its command-approval path, and that the attacker's payload use shell constructs the tool's parser cannot interpret so the malicious portion is omitted from the approval inspection but still passed to the shell. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The supplied CVSS 4.0 base score is 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N with full VC/VI/VA and subsequent-system SC/SI/SA all High), which treats this as trivially remote, unauthenticated, no-interaction code execution - an aggressive rating for a client-side developer tool. … 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 patch version is identified in the available data; consult the HiddenLayer advisory (https://www.hiddenlayer.com/sai-security-advisory/2026-09-mistral-vibe4) and Mistral AI release notes for a fixed build and upgrade to it as the primary remediation once published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Immediately discontinue use of Mistral Vibe across all development teams; notify users of the critical vulnerability and identify alternative coding assistants. …
