Arbitrary code execution via untrusted analyzer loading
Published May 29, 2026 · Updated May 29, 2026
Code injection in Roslyn CodeLens MCP Server before 1.17.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code through a malicious project. AnalyzerRunner.GetAnalyzers unconditionally collects project AnalyzerReferences, and GetAnalyzerDiagnosticsAsync loads and invokes each DLL in the server process. Exploitation requires the victim to open an attacker-supplied solution and call get_diagnostics, after which code runs with the server process's OS privileges.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
