Vulnerability details

All versions of `SuperAGI` are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution due to unsafe use of the ‘eval’ function. An attacker could induce the LLM output to exploit this vulnerability and gain arbitrary code execution on the SuperAGI application server.

Why these techniques?

The vulnerability allows remote arbitrary code execution on the SuperAGI application server by inducing malicious LLM output evaluated via unsafe 'eval' function, enabling exploitation of public-facing applications (T1190) and remote services (T1210).

Mitigating Controls

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

SC-34 Non-modifiable Executable Programs
addresses: CWE-94

Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.

SC-44 Detonation Chambers
addresses: CWE-94

Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.

SI-10 Information Input Validation
addresses: CWE-94

Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.

SI-16 Memory Protection
addresses: CWE-94

Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
