## Summary

Moonshot AI Kimi Code has a flaw in its WorkspaceDirsService component, where it relies on untrusted input from the .kimi-code/local.toml file when making a security decision about the additional_dir setting. An attacker with local access and low-level login rights can exploit it without any user action, which can affect integrity and availability.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- Moonshot AI Kimi Code: 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2

## Description

A vulnerability was detected in Moonshot AI Kimi Code up to 2.0.2. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file .kimi-code/local.toml of the component WorkspaceDirsService. Performing a manipulation of the argument additional_dir results in reliance on untrusted inputs in a security decision. The attack requires a local approach. The exploit is now public and may be used. Upgrading to version 2.1.0 is able to resolve this issue. Upgrading the affected component is recommended.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-126758 (Moonshot AI Kimi Code WorkspaceDirsService local.toml reliance on untrusted inputs in a security decision), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-126758 (entry last updated 2026-11-11):
Affected:
- Moonshot AI Kimi Code: versions 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2
Fixed versions: none listed yet.
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-126758 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-126758 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:

Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.
