What is CVE-2025-58372?

CVE-2025-58372 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in RooCodeInc Roo-Code, published on 5 Sep 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

Roo Code is an AI-powered autonomous coding agent that lives in users' editors. Versions 3.25.23 and below contain a vulnerability where certain VS Code workspace configuration files (.code-workspace) are not protected in the same way as the .vscode folder. If the agent was configured to auto-approve file writes, an attacker able to influence prompts (for example via prompt injection) could cause malicious workspace settings or tasks to be written. These tasks could then be executed automatically when the workspace is reopened, resulting in arbitrary code execution. This issue is fixed in version 3.26.0.

Weakness: CWE-94, CWE-732
