patch available.

  - In Eclipse Theia versions prior to 1.71.0, files matching the pattern .prompts/*.prompttemplate in a
    workspace were automatically loaded and could override or extend the AI agent's system prompts. An
    attacker could craft a malicious repository containing prompt template files that, when the workspace was
    opened in Theia, replaced the AI's system instructions with attacker-controlled content (indirect prompt
    injection). Combined with other AI chat features available in untrusted workspaces, this enabled attack
    chains leading to data exfiltration via Markdown image rendering or arbitrary command execution via task
    definitions. (CVE-2026-46580)
