Synopsis

The Microsoft Visual Studio Products are affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The Microsoft Visual Studio Products are missing security updates. They are, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

- Improper neutralization of special elements used in a command ('command injection') in Visual Studio allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally. (CVE-2025-32702)

- Insufficient granularity of access control in Visual Studio allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally. (CVE-2025-32703)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Microsoft has released the following security updates to address this issue:
- Update 16.11.47 for Visual Studio 2019
- Update 17.8.21 for Visual Studio 2022
- Update 17.10.14 for Visual Studio 2022
- Update 17.12.8 for Visual Studio 2022
- Update 17.13.7 for Visual Studio 2022
