An attacker could craft a malicious repository that, when cloned and opened in Theia, leads to execution of arbitrary commands with the user's privileges. In combination with AI chat features and a workspace .theia/settings.json that disabled tool confirmation, this could be triggered automatically by sending a message in the AI chat.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-06-18T14:35:25.486+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-06-19T03:55:44.974+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Eclipse Theia","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"Eclipse Foundation\",\n                    \"product\": \"Eclipse Theia\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"1.69.0\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ],\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 4.0","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":8.4,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://gitlab.eclipse.org/security/cve-assignment/-/work_items/116"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-44691","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-44691","identifiers":["CVE-2026-44691"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
