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.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-18T15:21:59.493+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-08-18T19:07:21.514+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"CodeWhale","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"Hmbown\",\n                    \"product\": \"CodeWhale\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"packageURL\": \"pkg:cargo/deepseek-tui\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0.8.6\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"0.8.41\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0.8.41\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"CodeWhale","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"Hmbown\",\n                    \"product\": \"CodeWhale\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"packageURL\": \"pkg:npm/deepseek-tui\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0.8.6\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"0.8.41\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0.8.41\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"CodeWhale","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"Hmbown\",\n                    \"product\": \"CodeWhale\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"packageURL\": \"pkg:cargo/codewhale-tui\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0.8.41\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"0.8.64\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0.8.64\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"CodeWhale","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"Hmbown\",\n                    \"product\": \"CodeWhale\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"packageURL\": \"pkg:npm/codewhale\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0.8.41\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"0.8.64\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0.8.64\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 4.0","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":8.5,"severity":"HIGH"},{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/Hmbown/CodeWhale/security/advisories/GHSA-gx45-xrj5-g6c4","https://github.com/Hmbown/CodeWhale/commit/43563356b98c6b993085554da82e77370160a31c","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/codewhale-before-remote-code-execution-via-allow-shell"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-75911","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-75911","identifiers":["CVE-2026-75911"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
