CVE-2026-44187
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A flaw was found in the Ansible Lightspeed extension for Visual Studio Code. This vulnerability allows an attacker with local access to the workstation, or malware running with the user's privileges, to read the Google Gemini API key. The extension insecurely stores the API key in plain text within the user's configuration file and writes it to output log files. This information disclosure can lead to the attacker obtaining the API credential and potentially consuming the user's API quota.

"value": "Se encontró una falla en la extensión Ansible Lightspeed para Visual Studio Code. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a un atacante con acceso local a la estación de trabajo, o a un malware ejecutándose con los privilegios del usuario, leer la clave de la API de Google Gemini. La extensión almacena de forma insegura la clave de la API en texto plano dentro del archivo de configuración del usuario y la escribe en los archivos de registro de salida. Esta revelación de información puede llevar a que el atacante obtenga la credencial de la API y potencialmente consuma la cuota de la API del usuario."
