CVE-2026-22718 is a command injection vulnerability in the Spring CLI extension for Visual Studio Code (Spring CLI VSCode Extension) affecting version 0.9.0 and earlier. Due to unsafe handling of input used to construct/execute system commands, an attacker can manipulate extension-controlled inputs to inject additional shell commands, resulting in arbitrary command execution on the developer’s machine under the privileges of the logged-in user. Reported exploitation scenarios include normal extension usage such as opening a malicious project or interacting with a crafted file that influences the extension’s command invocation.
