      "value": "A vulnerability was identified in OpenAI Codex CLI v0.23.0 and before that enables code execution through malicious MCP (Model Context Protocol) configuration files. The attack is triggered when a user runs the codex command inside a malicious or compromised repository. Codex automatically loads project-local .env and .codex/config.toml files without requiring user confirmation, allowing attackers to embed arbitrary commands that execute immediately."

El ataque se activa cuando un usuario ejecuta el comando codex dentro de un repositorio malicioso o comprometido. Codex carga automáticamente los archivos .env y .codex/config.toml locales del proyecto sin requerir confirmación del usuario, lo que permite a los atacantes incrustar comandos arbitrarios que se ejecutan inmediatamente."
