CVE-2026-44190Source published Source updated
A flaw was found in the Ansible Lightspeed Visual Studio Code extension. This Command Injection vulnerability (CWE-78) allows a remote attacker to execute unauthorized commands on a user's system. The issue occurs because the `ansible.python.activationScript` setting, intended for a virtual environment activation script, does not properly validate user input as a file path. If a user opens or executes a specially crafted project, an attacker could exploit this to gain complete control over the user's system with the privileges of the Visual Studio Code application.

- No fixed-version detail extracted. This does not mean no fix exists.
- Mitigation guidance
- To mitigate this issue, configure the `ansible.python.activationScript` setting to "User" scope only within Visual Studio Code settings. This prevents untrusted project configurations from defining this setting in `.vscode/settings.json`. Users should always review the contents of `.vscode/settings.json` before opening or executing playbooks from untrusted sources. This action does not require a service restart or reload.
