CVE-2026-48561 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft Copilot caused by improper neutralization of special elements used in a command, classified as CWE-77. The flaw allows attacker-controlled input or crafted prompts to be processed without sufficient neutralization, enabling command injection and subsequent code execution. Microsoft assessed the issue as remotely exploitable over the network with no privileges required, but with user interaction required. Reported attack scenarios indicate that a malicious website can cause Microsoft Edge for Android to automatically send crafted prompts to Copilot when a user visits the site, and the affected component may process those requests without adequate confirmation or origin checks. Microsoft also indicated that successful exploitation can involve a scope change across a security boundary, including a scenario in which code execution is achieved from a low-privilege Hyper-V guest context on the Hyper-V host execution environment.
