It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-50520 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Visual Studio Code. 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-2026-50520/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-50520/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-50520","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-50520/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-50520","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w2gf-r9r2-8q47"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Visual Studio Code","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code locally on a victim's machine via command injection in Visual Studio Code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"visual_studio_code","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-77","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command"}],"description":"Improper neutralization of special elements used in a command ('command injection') in Visual Studio Code allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code 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":"Visual Studio Code Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-50520","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:visual_studio_code","products":["microsoft:visual_studio_code"],"type":"command_injection","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-50521"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Microsoft Visual Studio Code CoPilot Chat Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-50519"},"products":["Visual Studio Code"],"published":"2026-07-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Visual Studio Code Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-81376","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-08"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Visual Studio Code Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-47281","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Code Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-78462","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Code Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-59113","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Code Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-69320","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Code Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-70336","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Visual Studio Code Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-57102","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-14"}],"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":"2026-10-28","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code locally on a victim's machine via command injection in Visual Studio Code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-50520/"}
