Description
Roo Code is an AI-powered autonomous coding agent that lives in users' editors. Versions 3.25.23 and below contain a vulnerability where certain VS Code workspace configuration files (.code-workspace) are not protected in the same way as the .vscode folder. If the agent was configured to auto-approve file writes, an attacker able to influence prompts (for example via prompt injection) could cause malicious workspace settings or tasks to be written. These tasks could then be executed automatically when the workspace is reopened, resulting in arbitrary code execution. This issue is fixed in version 3.26.0.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Roo Code versions 3.25.23 and below, where certain VS Code workspace configuration files (.code-workspace) are not protected like the .vscode folder. If the agent is set to auto-approve file writes, an attacker who can influence prompts (e.g., via prompt injection) could cause malicious workspace settings or tasks to be written. These malicious tasks could then execute automatically when the workspace is reopened, leading to arbitrary code execution.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to arbitrary code execution on your system if exploited. An attacker could inject malicious tasks into your workspace configuration, which would run automatically when you reopen the workspace, potentially compromising your system's security and integrity.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Roo Code to version 3.26.0 or later, as this version contains the fix for the vulnerability. Additionally, avoid configuring the agent to auto-approve file writes, and be cautious of prompt injection attacks that could influence the agent to write malicious workspace settings or tasks.
