CVE-2026-54525 (GCVE-0-2026-54525)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-10-14 19:06 – Updated: 2026-10-14 19:06

Title

Markdown Preview Enhanced: One Click RCE via Markdown Link Command Injection on Windows

Summary

Markdown Preview Enhanced is a Markdown preview extension for Visual Studio Code. Prior to 0.8.28, Markdown Preview Enhanced preview-link handling passes a decoded, Markdown-controlled link target to a Windows file-opening helper that invokes child_process.exec with the start command. When a Windows user opens an untrusted Markdown file and clicks a crafted external or unsupported-scheme link, shell metacharacters in the decoded target are interpreted by cmd.exe as command separators, allowing an attacker-selected command to run with the privileges of the current VS Code user. The attack requires one normal preview-link click but does not require malicious workspace configuration, script execution to be enabled, or additional files. This issue is fixed in version 0.8.28.

Severity

8.8 (High)
