CVE-2025-64322 Overview
CVE-2025-64322 is an Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource vulnerability [CWE-732] affecting the Salesforce Agentforce Vibes Extension for Visual Studio Code. Versions prior to 3.3.0 assign overly permissive access to configuration files, allowing attackers to manipulate writeable configuration files. The flaw enables tampering with extension settings without requiring authentication or user interaction. Salesforce addressed the issue in version 3.3.0.
Critical Impact
Attackers can modify configuration files used by the Agentforce Vibes Extension, altering integrity-sensitive settings that govern how the AI development assistant operates within Visual Studio Code.
Affected Products
- Salesforce Agentforce Vibes Extension for Visual Studio Code, all versions before 3.3.0
- Deployments where the extension operates with default file permissions on shared or multi-user systems
- Developer workstations integrating Agentforce Vibes with Salesforce tooling

Technical Details for CVE-2025-64322
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability originates in how the Agentforce Vibes Extension provisions access controls on its configuration files. The extension writes configuration data to locations with permissions that do not restrict modification to the intended user or process. As a result, unauthorized parties with local or network-facing access to those files can alter values that influence extension behavior.
Because the flaw resides in file permission handling rather than in authentication logic, exploitation does not require valid credentials or user interaction. The impact is limited to integrity, with no direct confidentiality or availability loss reported. The vulnerability is classified as network-exploitable per the CVSS vector, reflecting scenarios where the configuration path is reachable through remote development contexts.
Root Cause
The root cause is improper permission assignment on critical resource files, mapped to [CWE-732]. The extension does not enforce restrictive access control lists on configuration files it creates or updates. Any actor with write access to those paths can modify configuration values that the extension later trusts.
Attack Vector
An attacker with write access to the configuration file path can overwrite entries used by the extension. Modified configuration can redirect behavior, alter integration endpoints, or change operational parameters. Because the extension consumes these files without additional integrity checks, injected values are honored on subsequent extension activation.
No public proof-of-concept exploit is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. See the Salesforce Help Article for vendor technical details.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-64322
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected modifications to Agentforce Vibes Extension configuration files outside of normal update or user-driven change windows
- Configuration entries containing endpoints, tokens, or flags inconsistent with organizational baselines
- File permission bits on extension configuration paths granting write access to non-owner accounts
Detection Strategies
- Audit installed Visual Studio Code extensions and identify workstations running Agentforce Vibes Extension versions earlier than 3.3.0
- Monitor file integrity on the extension's configuration directories and alert on writes performed by processes other than the extension itself or the owning user
- Compare configuration file hashes against a known-good baseline captured immediately after patched installation
Monitoring Recommendations
- Enable endpoint file integrity monitoring for user-profile paths where Visual Studio Code extensions store configuration data
- Log process activity that opens Agentforce Vibes Extension configuration files with write intent and correlate against the parent process tree
- Track extension version inventory across developer endpoints to confirm patch adoption of version 3.3.0 or later
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-64322
Immediate Actions Required
- Upgrade the Salesforce Agentforce Vibes Extension to version 3.3.0 or later on all developer endpoints
- Inventory Visual Studio Code installations to identify systems still running vulnerable extension versions
- Review configuration files for the extension and restore known-good values where tampering is suspected
Patch Information
Salesforce resolved the incorrect permission assignment in Agentforce Vibes Extension version 3.3.0. Refer to the Salesforce Help Article for the vendor advisory and update guidance.
Workarounds
- Manually tighten file system permissions on the extension's configuration directory to restrict write access to the owning user account
- Disable or uninstall the Agentforce Vibes Extension on shared workstations until the patched version is deployed
- Enforce endpoint policies that prevent non-administrative processes from modifying files inside Visual Studio Code extension directories
