MediumCVSS 5.0Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk36th percentile - higher than 36% of all known CVEs
Summary
Improper validation of generative AI output in GitHub Copilot and Visual Studio Code allows an authorized attacker to bypass a security feature locally.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could bypass security mechanisms, potentially leading to unauthorized actions in the development environment.
Recommendation
Update GitHub Copilot and Visual Studio Code to the latest patched versions and limit trust in AI-generated output.
