What is CVE-2026-35533?
CVE-2026-35533 is a high-severity vulnerability in jdx mise, published on 7 Apr 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
mise manages dev tools like node, python, cmake, and terraform. From 2026.2.18 through 2026.4.5, mise loads trust-control settings from a local project .mise.toml before the trust check runs. An attacker who can place a malicious .mise.toml in a repository can make that same file appear trusted and then reach dangerous directives such as [env] _.source, templates, hooks, or tasks.
Weakness: CWE-284
