High CVSS 8.8

Overview

In the `manim` plugin of binary-husky/gpt_academic, versions prior to the fix, a vulnerability exists due to improper handling of user-provided prompts. The root cause is the execution of untrusted code generated by the LLM without a proper sandbox. This allows an attacker to perform remote code execution (RCE) on the app backend server by injecting malicious code through the prompt.

This vulnerability is rated 🟠 HIGH.

  • CVSS: 8.8 (HIGH)
  • Detected tags: rce (tag impact: VERY HIGH)

Recommended actions:
