When a user clones and opens the repository in CodeWhale, the AI model gains access to exec_shell and task_shell tools, enabling execution of arbitrary shell commands on the victim's machine without explicit user consent.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Package advisory (CVE-2026-75911)\n\nAffected packages:\n\n- `deepseek-tui >= 0.8.6, <= 0.8.41`\n- `deepseek-tui >= 0.8.6, < 0.8.41`\n- `codewhale-tui >= 0.8.41, < 0.8.64`\n- `codewhale >= 0.8.41, < 0.8.64`\n\nPatched in:\n\n- `deepseek-tui 0.8.41`\n- `codewhale-tui 0.8.64`\n- `codewhale 0.8.64`\n\nSource: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-gx45-xrj5-g6c4","depth":"twilight","depthScore":43,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":42.9,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
