CVE-2025-65715Public exploit

Code execution via unsanitized executor command

Published Feb 16, 2026 · Updated Feb 16, 2026

Command injection in formulahendry Code Runner 0.12.2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code when a crafted VS Code workspace is opened. The extension reads a language executor from code-runner.executorMap and passes it unsanitized to child_process.spawn() with shell execution enabled. The user must open the attacker-supplied workspace and invoke Code Runner, after which the command runs with the VS Code user's privileges.
