Summary

CVE-2026-109429 affects Mistral Vibe before 2.25.4 and contains a bypass of its command permission gate. Tree-sitter-bash static parsing misses a command substitution hidden inside a single-quoted variable value, which the attacker re-expands with the ${var@P} prompt-transform operator so bash's promptvars feature runs it at runtime. Only the trailing allowlisted command is classified, so arbitrary commands run silently with the privileges of the agent's terminal session.
