CVE-2026-19515
CVE-2026-19515 — OS Command Injection via Unit Test Execution in WSO2 Integrator MI VS Code Extension Allows Arbitrary Command Execution
The WSO2 Integrator MI VS Code extension fails to properly sanitize or validate user-supplied input when processing Micro Integrator projects opened from untrusted sources. This allows a crafted project to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands through the unit test execution flow. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to the execution of arbitrary OS commands on the system where the VS Code extension is running. The extent of the impact is dependent on the privileges of the user account under which VS Code is operating. Exploitation requires the user to grant workspace trust to the malicious project and subsequently trigger the unit test execution.

Ordered from the record's own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found.
- Identify exposed assets running affected vendor/product/version combinations.
- Prioritize based on EPSS, PoC availability, and external exposure.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors, authentication anomalies, or suspicious child processes matching the vulnerability class.

What this weakness leads to
MITRE's own consequences and mitigations for the weakness class — the authority's wording, not guidance derived from the CVSS vector.
CWE-78 · Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
- Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
- DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
- Read Files or Directories
- Modify Files or Directories
Mitigation: If at all possible, use library calls rather than external processes to recreate the desired functionality.

Answered from this record1
What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-19515 is OS Command Injection via Unit Test Execution in WSO2 Integrator MI VS Code Extension Allows Arbitrary Command Execution, a high vulnerability affecting WSO2 Integrator: MI for Visual Studio Code from WSO2. The current evidence does not list it in CISA KEV, and the exploit status is: Active exploitation is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-19515. Public exploit evidence is: A public PoC is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-19515. The affected-version evidence is listed in the key facts and affected products tables. Defenders should first verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run those versions, then apply vendor patches or mitigations, restrict reachable attack surface, and preserve logs for detection review. CVSS 7 describes technical severity, while EPSS 0% helps estimate near-term exploit likelihood; neither replaces asset context. Unknown fields should remain explicit in tickets, and threat actor, IOC, victimology, or payload claims should not be added unless a cited source supports them. Monitor CISA KEV, vendor advisories, NVD changes, public PoC repositories, and internal telemetry for update triggers.
