CVE-2026-87985: CWE-184 Incomplete list of disallowed inputs in mistralai mistral-vibe
CVE-2026-87985 is a critical vulnerability in Mistral Vibe that allows arbitrary code execution. The flaw arises because ANSI-C quoted arguments bypass command permission checks due to incomplete input validation. An attacker can craft allowlisted commands with these arguments to execute code on the user's system without authorization.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CWE-184) in Mistral Vibe involves an incomplete list of disallowed inputs, specifically ANSI-C quoted arguments, which are not properly inspected during command permission checks. This allows an attacker to bypass these checks and execute arbitrary code on the affected system by crafting allowlisted commands containing such arguments. The vulnerability affects versions >=2.9.0 and has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 10.0, indicating critical severity with network attack vector, no required privileges or user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability, and security requirements.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution on the user's system without any required privileges or user interaction, leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should exercise caution with allowlisted commands and avoid processing ANSI-C quoted arguments that could bypass permission checks.
