An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-45311 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- deepseek-tui (crates.io): affected from 0.3.0; fixed in 0.8.23\n- deepseek-tui (crates.io): affected from 0.3.0; fixed in 0.8.23\n- deepseek-tui (npm): affected from 0.3.0; fixed in 0.8.23\n- deepseek-tui (npm): affected from 0.3.0; fixed in 0.8.23\n- deepseek-tui-cli (crates.io): affected from 0.3.0; fixed in 0.8.23\n- deepseek-tui-cli (crates.io): affected from 0.3.0; fixed in 0.8.23\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-2026-45311/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45311/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-45311","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45311/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-45311","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wx44-2q6h-j6p8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"AI coding agent","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can achieve remote code execution by tricking the CodeWhale agent into running malicious tests from a repository without user approval.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.6,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"CodeWhale is a DeepSeek + MiMo coding agent in terminal. From 0.3.0 to 0.8.23, the run_tests tool executes cargo test in the workspace with ApprovalRequirement::Auto, meaning it runs without any user approval prompt. cargo test compiles and executes arbitrary code: test binaries, build.rs build scripts, and proc macros. While auto-approving test execution is a deliberate design choice, it creates an inconsistency in the security boundary. However, in a malicious repository, test code can execute arbitrary shell commands, exfiltrate credentials, or establish persistence with zero approval. The attack is amplified by AGENTS.md (auto-loaded into the system prompt), which can instruct the model to run tests proactively at session start.
