JavaScript running in the application webview can therefore invoke plugin:shell|execute to run attacker-controlled operating system commands with the privileges of the NoteGen process. In combination with script execution in the webview (for example via chat XSS), this enables full remote code execution on the user's machine.","published":"2026-07-26T15:16:28.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-24T13:10:00.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"reefs@jfrog.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":8.3,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-78","CWE-276","CWE-1249"],"affected":["notegen/notegen"],"epss":{"score":0.00749,"percentile":0.54732,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.75%).
