SCA: security update for @theia/debug, @theia/task, @theia/workspace (GHSA-g9jw-92q7-g7fj)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443708

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In Eclipse Theia versions prior to 1.69.0, custom task definitions in workspace files (e.g.
 .theia/tasks.json, .vscode/tasks.json) could be executed without requiring workspace trust. An attacker
 could craft a malicious repository that, when cloned and opened in Theia, leads to execution of arbitrary
 commands with the user's privileges. In combination with AI chat features and a workspace
 .theia/settings.json that disabled tool confirmation, this could be triggered automatically by sending a
 message in the AI chat. (CVE-2026-44691)

Solution

Update the @theia/debug library and its related packages to version 1.69.0 or later.
