Embedded malicious code in Nx Console (the editor extension for Nx and Lerna) version 18.95.0 turned a trusted developer tool into a trojan during a brief publish window on 19 May 2026. The poisoned build was live on the Visual Studio Marketplace for roughly 18 minutes (12:30-12:48 UTC) and on OpenVSX for roughly 36 minutes (12:33-13:09 UTC); any developer who installed or auto-updated during those windows executed attacker-controlled code inside their IDE, tagged here as information disclosure. It is confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV) and publicly available exploit code exists, with CISA SSVC rating exploitation as active, automatable, and total technical impact; the clean release 18.100.0 is the fix.
Nx versions prior to V2512 contain an insufficient input validation flaw in the PDF export functionality that permits local attackers to corrupt internal data structures and achieve arbitrary code execution. An attacker with local file system access can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate the export process and gain code execution privileges. No patch is currently available for this vulnerability.
Apache Log4j2 contains a critical JNDI injection vulnerability known as 'Log4Shell' that allows unauthenticated remote code execution through crafted log messages, affecting virtually every Java application on Earth and triggering the largest vulnerability remediation effort in history.
Cross-origin information disclosure in the Nx monorepo graph server (versions 17.0.4 through 22.7.1) exposes the full project dependency graph and workspace metadata to any website a developer visits while `nx graph` is running locally. The server unconditionally broadcasts `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`, bypassing the browser Same-Origin Policy and allowing attacker-controlled JavaScript to silently read internal project structure. In rare cases, the `/help` endpoint - which executes a workspace-configured target command - creates a path to arbitrary command injection on the developer's machine. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing identified at time of analysis.
