AI-suggested

Upgrade Eclipse Theia to version 1.71.0 or later, which introduces workspace trust enforcement that disables AI features in untrusted workspaces, effectively mitigating the vulnerability. Until upgrading, avoid opening untrusted workspaces that could contain malicious prompt injections targeting the AI chat feature.

Description

In Eclipse Theia versions prior to 1.71.0, the AI chat rendered Markdown image tags from AI responses, triggering HTTP requests to arbitrary external URLs without restriction. Combined with prompt injection in a malicious workspace, an attacker could induce the AI agent to construct image URLs encoding sensitive information from the workspace or conversation context, exfiltrating it to attacker-controlled servers. The workspace trust enforcement introduced in v1.71.0 mitigates the documented attack chain by disabling AI features in untrusted workspaces.
