CVE-2026-22551

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

In Eclipse Theia versions prior to 1.71.0, the AI chat rendered Markdown image tags from AI responses, triggering HTTP requests to arbitrary external URLs without restriction. Combined with prompt injection in a malicious workspace, an attacker could induce the AI agent to construct image URLs encoding sensitive information from the workspace or conversation context, exfiltrating it to attacker-controlled servers. The workspace trust enforcement introduced in v1.71.0 mitigates the documented attack chain by disabling AI features in untrusted workspaces.

Combinado con la inyección de prompts en un espacio de trabajo malicioso, un atacante podría inducir al agente de IA a construir URLs de imagen que codificaran información sensible del espacio de trabajo o del contexto de la conversación, exfiltrándola a servidores controlados por el atacante. La aplicación de la confianza del espacio de trabajo introducida en la v1.71.0 mitiga la cadena de ataque documentada al deshabilitar las funciones de IA en espacios de trabajo no confiables."
