GhostApproval Flaw Hits Six Major AI Coding Assistants

Wiz identified GhostApproval, a symlink vulnerability affecting six major artificial intelligence (AI) coding assistants that allows attackers to circumvent approval mechanisms. The flaw enables malicious code to be executed without proper authorization controls in these development tools.

Why it matters: Development teams using AI coding assistants face the risk of unauthorized code execution in their environments; practitioners should review affected tools and apply patches immediately.
