Prompt Injection in Windsurf Allows Remote Command Execution

Publication date: 2026-04-15

Last updated on: 2026-04-15

Assigner: MITRE

Description
A prompt injection vulnerability in Windsurf 1.9544.26 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on a victim system. When Windsurf processes attacker-controlled HTML content, malicious instructions can cause unauthorized modification of the local MCP configuration and automatic registration of a malicious MCP STDIO server, resulting in execution of arbitrary commands without further user interaction. Successful exploitation may allow attackers to execute commands on behalf of the user, persist malicious MCP configuration changes, and access sensitive information exposed through the application.

Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a prompt injection issue in Windsurf version 1.9544.26. It allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on a victim's system by sending malicious HTML content. When Windsurf processes this attacker-controlled HTML, it can cause unauthorized changes to the local MCP configuration and automatically register a malicious MCP STDIO server. This leads to execution of arbitrary commands without any further user interaction.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

Exploitation of this vulnerability can allow attackers to execute commands on behalf of the user, persist malicious changes to the MCP configuration, and gain access to sensitive information exposed through the application. This can lead to unauthorized control over the system and potential data breaches.
