It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-27082 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-27082 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in Microsoft Quantum Development Kit for Visual Studio Code, published on 11 Mar 2021. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-27082 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Quantum Development Kit for Visual Studio Code. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27082/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27082/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-27082","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27082/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-27082","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6frx-3v8c-f474"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VS Code extension","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code via the Quantum Development Kit extension for Visual Studio Code, requiring users to update the extension.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"quantum_development_kit","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Quantum Development Kit for Visual Studio Code Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Quantum Development Kit for Visual Studio Code Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-27082","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Remote Development Extension for Visual Studio Code Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-27083"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Visual Studio Code ESLint Extension Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-27081"},"products":["Microsoft Quantum Development Kit for Visual Studio Code"],"published":"2021-03-11","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-19","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code via the Quantum Development Kit extension for Visual Studio Code, requiring users to update the extension.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-27082/"}
