CVE-2026-75911 Details

UNDERGOING ENRICHMENT

The CVE is currently being enriched by the Volerion team. The enrichment process results in the association of reference link tags, CVSS, and CPE applicability statement data.

Description

CodeWhale versions before 0.8.64 fail to properly validate the allow_shell configuration parameter from project config files, allowing attackers to enable arbitrary shell command execution by committing a malicious .codewhale/config.toml file to a repository. When a user clones and opens the repository in CodeWhale, the AI model gains access to exec_shell and task_shell tools, enabling execution of arbitrary shell commands on the victim's machine without explicit user consent.
