      "value": "In Eclipse Theia versions prior to 1.71.0, the AI chat agent processed workspace file and directory names as part of its prompt context without distinguishing them from system instructions. An attacker could craft a malicious repository with adversarial directory or file names that, when analyzed by the AI agent, would cause the agent to follow attacker-controlled instructions (indirect prompt injection). Combined with other AI chat features available in untrusted workspaces, this enabled attack chains leading to data exfiltration via Markdown image rendering or arbitrary command execution via task definitions."

      "value": "En versiones de Eclipse Theia anteriores a la 1.71.0, el agente de chat de IA procesaba los nombres de archivos y directorios del espacio de trabajo como parte de su contexto de prompt sin distinguirlos de las instrucciones del sistema. Un atacante podría crear un repositorio malicioso con nombres de directorio o archivo adversarios que, al ser analizados por el agente de IA, harían que el agente siguiera instrucciones controladas por el atacante (inyección de prompt indirecta). Combinado con otras características de chat de IA disponibles en espacios de trabajo no confiables, esto permitía cadenas de ataque que conducían a la exfiltración de datos a través de la renderización de imágenes Markdown o la ejecución arbitraria de comandos a través de definiciones de tareas."
