CVE-2026-75858
CodeWhale (packages codewhale / codewhale-tui) versions >= 0.8.41 and < 0.8.64 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the rlm_eval tool. The tool's approval_requirement() returns ApprovalRequirement::Auto, which the engine treats as 'never prompt,' causing arbitrary model-supplied Python code to run in a python3 interpreter without consulting the user's configured --approval-policy and without any approval prompt or audit step. An attacker can induce the agent to execute arbitrary code via prompt injection in untrusted content the agent reads (a web page, fetched URL, repository file, or MCP tool result); the companion rlm_open tool can stage such content. Code runs on the user's machine at the user's privilege level. Fixed in 0.8.64.
CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.36%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 28
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
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 Executionexecution95 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution90 % - Impacto secundario
T1565Data Manipulationimpact70 %
Vector CVSS: AV:L/UI:P (acceso local con interacción del usuario). El atacante induce al agente a ejecutar código Python arbitrario mediante inyección de prompt en contenido no confiable que el usuario lee. T1203 (explotación para ejecución en el cliente): el usuario interactúa con contenido prepara
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.
