What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-56803, European organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Restrict the ability to load or develop local plugins in Figma Desktop to trusted users only, employing role-based access controls and endpoint security policies. 2) Educate users, especially designers and developers, about the risks of loading untrusted or self-developed plugins and enforce strict plugin usage policies. 3) Monitor and audit plugin manifests and local plugin directories for unauthorized or suspicious modifications. 4) Employ application whitelisting and endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to detect and prevent execution of unauthorized commands or scripts spawned by Figma processes. 5) Maintain up-to-date backups of design assets to mitigate potential data loss. 6) Coordinate with Figma for timely patching once official fixes are released, and apply updates promptly. 7) Consider isolating design workstations or using virtualized environments to limit the impact of potential local exploits. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on controlling plugin usage, monitoring local plugin activity, and leveraging endpoint security controls tailored to the nature of this vulnerability.

Description

Figma Desktop for Windows version 125.6.5 contains a command injection vulnerability in the local plugin loader. An attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands by setting a crafted build field in the plugin's manifest.json. This field is passed to child_process.exec without validation, leading to possible RCE. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because the behavior only allows a local user to attack himself via a local plugin. The local build procedure, which is essential to the attack, is not executed for plugins shared to the Figma Community.
