CVE-2026-8766 - Vulnerability Details

- Kilo-Org kilocode Environment Variable config.ts load information disclosure

Description

A flaw has been found in Kilo-Org kilocode up to 7.0.47. This issue affects the function Load of the file packages/opencode/src/config/config.ts of the component Environment Variable Handler. Executing a manipulation of the argument KILO_CONFIG_CONTENT can lead to information disclosure. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used.

Analysis

Impact

A flaw in Kilo-Org kilocode allows a remote attacker to manipulate the environment variable KILO_CONFIG_CONTENT and cause the config.ts loader to disclose sensitive configuration data. The vulnerability corresponds to Information Exposure (CWE‑200) and Improper Access Control (CWE‑284), and includes an additional unspecified weakness noted as NVD‑CWE‑noinfo. This results in an information disclosure impact rather than denial of service or execution.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Kilo‑Org kilocode, versions up to 7.0.47. No other vendors or products are listed in the CNA data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate risk level. The EPSS score of < 1% indicates a very low probability of exploitation at this time, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting limited current exploitation activity. The description states that the attack can be launched remotely and that a published exploit exists, so a remote attacker is able to trigger the disclosure without additional prerequisites.

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

Restrict the KILO_CONFIG_CONTENT environment variable so it cannot be supplied from external sources or untrusted environments.
Upgrade to a newer version of kilocode that is past 7.0.47 once the vendor releases an official patch or fix.
Implement network segmentation and firewall rules to limit remote access to the service hosting kilocode, and monitor for unusual environment variable modifications.
