Redpacketsecurity High-Risk Untrusted Path Vulnerability in Mistral Vibe Disclosed
Article Content
- •CVE-2026-122133 affects Mistral Vibe on Windows before version 2.25.5.
- •Attackers can execute code via malicious git.exe in repository roots.
- •Developers are urged to upgrade and review repositories to mitigate risks.
Mistral Vibe versions prior to 2.25.5 on Windows have an untrusted path vulnerability (CVE-2026-122133) that allows attackers to execute malicious code by placing git.exe in a repository root. Attackers can lure users into opening crafted repositories, triggering the execution of the malicious git.exe without any trust prompts. This poses a high risk to Windows developers, especially those using AI-assisted coding tools. Successful exploitation can compromise local work, disrupt workstations, or steal sensitive credentials. The vulnerability requires user interaction to exploit, as developers must open the crafted repository. The risk is heightened for developers accessing unfamiliar repositories from various sources. No active exploitation has been confirmed, and the urgency of addressing this vulnerability is currently unverified. Mitigation strategies include upgrading to the fixed version and reviewing repository contents before opening.
