Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2026-4295 is a vulnerability in Kiro IDE versions before 0.8.0 where improper enforcement of trust boundaries allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. This happens when a local user opens a maliciously crafted project directory that bypasses the workspace trust protections.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "This vulnerability can lead to arbitrary code execution on your system if you open a malicious project directory in Kiro IDE versions prior to 0.8.0. This means an attacker could run harmful code without your permission, potentially compromising your system's confidentiality, integrity, and availability."}] [2]
