      "value": "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."

      "lang": "es",
      "value": "Versiones de CodeWhale anteriores a la 0.8.64 no validan correctamente el parámetro de configuración allow_shell de los archivos de configuración del proyecto, permitiendo a los atacantes habilitar la ejecución arbitraria de comandos de shell al confirmar un archivo .codewhale/config.toml malicioso en un repositorio. Cuando un usuario clona y abre el repositorio en CodeWhale, el modelo de IA obtiene acceso a las herramientas exec_shell y task_shell, lo que permite la ejecución de comandos de shell arbitrarios en la máquina de la víctima sin el consentimiento explícito del usuario."
