Until a fix is available, restrict access to the Mistral Vibe process and monitor for suspicious activity related to file writes outside expected directories.
Description
An arbitrary file write vulnerability in Mistral Vibe, introduced in version 1.3.4, allows an attacker to create or overwrite files outside the active workspace without user approval. Shell redirection destinations are omitted from permission checks, enabling otherwise allowlisted commands to write to arbitrary paths accessible to the Vibe process.
