With conditional prompt injection it can be made to work reliably cross-platform, here a Windows demo:

👉 Episode 12: GitHub Copilot: Remote Code Execution There is a lot more to it - details in this blog post:

And shout out to @marver who had also identified this vulnerability

This is just so beautiful and so unimaginably cursed 🤣

Right!?! If we design system like that, Genie will def not stay in the bottle... 😂

With all the vibecoded YC startups this find is potentially worth millions

@Smridhiwho Yeah, unfortunately not the only AI-powered IDE agent with such issues... but good that this one is fixed.

great find!

Amazing

A little confused about this. First, the victim needs to download the code with the payload, then they have to execute with the chat? Are you suggesting this could be a potential danger for people trying to run shady open source repositories?

@bohops Fun times lol

I assume this is bypassing the "dont write to . files" protection?

Interesting; trust becomes vital when automation meets such power. This highlights the delicate balance of convenience and security.
