How to Fix CVE-2026-10175

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Aider chat dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

aider-chat fixed: Latest secure release 
pip install aider-chat>=Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show aider-chat

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2026-10175, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show aider-chat

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Aider chat in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show aider-chat command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. In Aider chat, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A security flaw has been discovered in Aider-AI Aider 0.86.3.dev. Affected by this vulnerability is the function editor_coder.run of the file auth.py of the component Architect Mode. Performing a manipulation results in code injection. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
