An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2026-70098 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2026-70098 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Microsoft Visual Studio Code, published on 13 Oct 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-70098 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-2026-70098/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70098/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-70098","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70098/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-70098","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c644-53ww-gqgc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Visual Studio Code","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthorized attacker can execute code over the network due to missing authorization in Visual Studio Code.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing authorization in Visual Studio Code allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Visual Studio Code Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-70098","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Windows Spaceport.sys Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-70102"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Windows Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) Enclave Spoofing Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-70097"},"products":["Visual Studio Code"],"published":"2026-10-13","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2026-10-29","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An unauthorized attacker can execute code over the network due to missing authorization in Visual Studio Code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70098/"}
