GitHub Copilot for JetBrains < 1.5.60 Remote Code Execution (December 2025)

high Nessus Plugin ID 278337

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has an application installed that is missing a security update.

Description

The GitHub Copilot for JetBrains plugin installed on the remote host is prior to version 1.5.60. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability:

- Improper neutralization of special elements used in a command ('command injection') in Copilot allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally. (CVE-2025-64671)

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

Solution

Update the GitHub Copilot for JetBrains plugin to version 1.5.60 or later.
