CVE-2026-86540: knowns versions before 0.30.0 fail to validate the settings.lsp.languages binary field in

Filed UTCSource GTH ↗

knowns versions before 0.30.0 fail to validate the settings.lsp.languages binary field in project configuration files, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary binaries by crafting a malicious .knowns/config.json file. When a repository with a crafted configuration is opened, the unvalidated binary path is executed twice under the user's account without any verification.
