What is CVE-2025-56803?

A command injection flaw exists in Figma Desktop for Windows version 125.6.5, specifically in the local plugin loader. This vulnerability enables attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands by manipulating a build field in the plugin's manifest.json file. The lack of validation when this field is passed to child_process.exec poses a significant security risk, allowing for potential remote code execution (RCE) if exploited.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
