An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-53098 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: RooCodeInc Roo-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-2025-53098/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53098/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-53098","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53098/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-53098","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5x8h-m52g-5v54"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"VS Code AI coding agent","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can achieve remote code execution by tricking the AI agent into writing malicious commands to its configuration file if auto-approval is enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"roo_code","vendor":"roocode"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-77","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command"}],"description":"Roo Code is an AI-powered autonomous coding agent. The project-specific MCP configuration for the Roo Code agent is stored in the `.roo/mcp.json` file within the VS Code workspace. Because the MCP configuration format allows for execution of arbitrary commands, prior to version 3.20.3, it would have been possible for an attacker with access to craft a prompt to ask the agent to write a malicious command to the MCP configuration file. If the user had opted-in to auto-approving file writes within the project, this would have led to arbitrary command execution. This issue is of moderate severity, since it requires the attacker to already be able to submit prompts to the agent (for instance through a prompt injection attack), for the user to have MCP enabled (on by default), and for the user to have enabled auto-approved file writes (off by default). Version 3.20.3 fixes the issue by adding an additional layer of opt-in configuration for auto-approving writing to Roo's configuration files, including all files within the `.roo/` folder.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Roo Code Vulnerable to Potential Remote Code Execution via Model Context Protocol","id":"CVE-2025-53098","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Sentry Missing Invalidation of Authorization Codes During OAuth Exchange and Revocation","id":"CVE-2025-53099"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Roo Code extension vulnerable to Potential Information Leakage via JSON Schema","id":"CVE-2025-53097"},"products":["Roo-Code"],"published":"2025-06-27","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Roo Code is vulnerable to command injection via GitHub actions workflow","id":"CVE-2025-58371","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2026-30307","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-30"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Roo Code is Vulnerable to Potential Remote Code Execution via zsh Command Validation Bug","id":"CVE-2025-65946","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-21"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Roo Code: Potential Remote Code Execution via Bash Parameter Expansion and Indirect Reference","id":"CVE-2025-58370","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-05"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Roo Code: Potential Remote Code Execution via .code-workspace","id":"CVE-2025-58372","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-05"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Roo Code allows Potential Remote Code Execution via .vscode/settings.json","id":"CVE-2025-53536","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-07"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-07-03","vendors":["RooCodeInc"]},"summary":"Attackers can achieve remote code execution by tricking the AI agent into writing malicious commands to its configuration file if auto-approval is enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53098/"}
