The vulnerability resides within an unspecified function of the \u003ccode\u003eaider_mcp.py\u003c/code\u003e file, specifically related to the \u003ccode\u003ecode_with_ai\u003c/code\u003e component. An attacker can exploit this flaw by manipulating the \u003ccode\u003eworking_dir/editable_files\u003c/code\u003e argument, leading to arbitrary command execution on the affected system. The exploit has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation.
