Improper neutralization of special elements used in a command ('command injection') in Github Copilot allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.84%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 57
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1203Exploitation for Client Executionexecution85 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution90 % - Impacto secundario
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation60 %
Vector CVSS con UI:R (requiere interacción) indica T1203. CWE-77 (command injection) y descripción confirman T1059 como impacto. Acceso local sin privilegios podría escalar a T1068.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
