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-2025-62449 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Visual Studio Code CoPilot Chat Extension. 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-2025-62449/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62449/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-62449","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62449/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-62449","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mc3j-5pr5-wj7r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VS Code Copilot Extension","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authorized attacker can bypass security features in the VS Code Copilot Chat Extension via path traversal.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"github_copilot_chat","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') in Visual Studio Code CoPilot Chat Extension allows an authorized attacker to bypass a security feature locally.","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":"Microsoft Visual Studio Code CoPilot Chat Extension Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-62449","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-62452"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Not used","id":"CVE-2025-62448"},"products":["Microsoft Visual Studio Code CoPilot Chat Extension"],"published":"2025-11-11","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Agentic AI and Visual Studio Code Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-62222","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-11"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"CoPilot Chat Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-65675","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-11"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Microsoft Visual Studio Code CoPilot Chat Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-50519","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-19"},{"cvss_score":5.7,"headline":"GitHub Copilot and Visual Studio Code Information Disclosure Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-23653","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-14"}],"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":"2026-02-13","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An authorized attacker can bypass security features in the VS Code Copilot Chat Extension via path traversal.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62449/"}
