CVE-2020-1171 1 Microsoft 2 Python, Visual Studio Code 2026-08-19 8.8 High
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Visual Studio Code when the Python extension loads configuration files after opening a project. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to convince a target to clone a repository and open it in Visual Studio Code with the Python extension installed. Attacker-specified code would execute when the target opened the integrated terminal. The update address the vulnerability by modifying the way Visual Studio Code Python extension handles environment variables.
CVE-2020-1192 1 Microsoft 2 Python, Visual Studio Code 2026-08-19 7.8 High
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Visual Studio Code when the Python extension loads workspace settings from a notebook file. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to convince a target to open a specially crafted file in Visual Studio Code with the Python extension installed. The update address the vulnerability by modifying the way Visual Studio Code Python extension enforces user settings.
CVE-2026-54981 1 Microsoft 2 Python, Visual Studio Code 2026-08-17 7.8 High
Inclusion of functionality from untrusted control sphere in Visual Studio Code - Python extension allows an unauthorized attacker to bypass a security feature locally.
CVE-2025-49714 1 Microsoft 2 Python, Visual Studio Code 2026-02-13 7.8 High
Trust boundary violation in Visual Studio Code - Python extension allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.
CVE-2020-17163 1 Microsoft 2 Python, Visual Studio Code 2025-09-05 7.8 High
Visual Studio Code Python Extension Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
CVE-2018-25032 13 Apple, Azul, Debian and 10 more 47 Mac Os X, Macos, Zulu and 44 more 2025-08-21 7.5 High
zlib before 1.2.12 allows memory corruption when deflating (i.e., when compressing) if the input has many distant matches.
CVE-2024-49050 1 Microsoft 1 Python 2025-07-15 8.8 High
Visual Studio Code Python Extension Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
CVE-2015-5652 2 Microsoft, Python 2 Windows, Python 2025-04-12 N/A
Untrusted search path vulnerability in python.exe in Python through 3.5.0 on Windows allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse readline.pyd file in the current working directory. NOTE: the vendor says "It was determined that this is a longtime behavior of Python that cannot really be altered at this point."
CVE-2022-26488 3 Microsoft, Netapp, Python 4 Windows, Active Iq Unified Manager, Ontap Select Deploy Administration Utility and 1 more 2024-11-21 7.0 High
In Python before 3.10.3 on Windows, local users can gain privileges because the search path is inadequately secured. The installer may allow a local attacker to add user-writable directories to the system search path. To exploit, an administrator must have installed Python for all users and enabled PATH entries. A non-administrative user can trigger a repair that incorrectly adds user-writable paths into PATH, enabling search-path hijacking of other users and system services. This affects Python (CPython) through 3.7.12, 3.8.x through 3.8.12, 3.9.x through 3.9.10, and 3.10.x through 3.10.2.
CVE-2020-15801 3 Microsoft, Netapp, Python 3 Windows, Max Data, Python 2024-11-21 9.8 Critical
In Python 3.8.4, sys.path restrictions specified in a python38._pth file are ignored, allowing code to be loaded from arbitrary locations. The <executable-name>._pth file (e.g., the python._pth file) is not affected.
CVE-2020-15523 3 Microsoft, Netapp, Python 3 Windows, Snapcenter, Python 2024-11-21 7.8 High
In Python 3.6 through 3.6.10, 3.7 through 3.7.8, 3.8 through 3.8.4rc1, and 3.9 through 3.9.0b4 on Windows, a Trojan horse python3.dll might be used in cases where CPython is embedded in a native application. This occurs because python3X.dll may use an invalid search path for python3.dll loading (after Py_SetPath has been used). NOTE: this issue CANNOT occur when using python.exe from a standard (non-embedded) Python installation on Windows.
CVE-2019-13404 2 Microsoft, Python 2 Windows, Python 2024-11-21 N/A
The MSI installer for Python through 2.7.16 on Windows defaults to the C:\Python27 directory, which makes it easier for local users to deploy Trojan horse code. (This also affects old 3.x releases before 3.5.) NOTE: the vendor's position is that it is the user's responsibility to ensure C:\Python27 access control or choose a different directory, because backwards compatibility requires that C:\Python27 remain the default for 2.7.x
CVE-2018-1000117 2 Microsoft, Python 2 Windows, Python 2024-11-21 6.7 Medium
Python Software Foundation CPython version From 3.2 until 3.6.4 on Windows contains a Buffer Overflow vulnerability in os.symlink() function on Windows that can result in Arbitrary code execution, likely escalation of privilege. This attack appears to be exploitable via a python script that creates a symlink with an attacker controlled name or location. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 3.7.0 and 3.6.5.
