Improper neutralization of special elements used in a command ('command injection') in Visual Studio allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally.
According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does this mean for this vulnerability? Exploitation is not trivial for this vulnerability as it requires multiple steps: prompt injection, Copilot Agent interaction, and triggering a build. According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution? The word Remote in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. This means an attacker or victim needs to execute code from the local machine to exploit the vulnerability.
