## 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 (Improper Control of Generation of Code), CWE-732 (Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource)

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2025-58372 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: 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.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-58372 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: RooCodeInc Roo-Code. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
