Summary

CVE-2026-77177 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked at the 46th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as LLM Application Platforms; in the LLM/Generative AI Risks risk domain.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-6 (Least Privilege) and SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Open GenAI Stack (aka ogx-ai) 2026-06-11, as used in the Meta AI backend for WhatsApp and other products, allows code execution because prompt injection (with Jinja2 template syntax) can be used to achieve server-side expression evaluation without sanitization.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.

Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.

Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).

PR.DS-10 none match
prevents

PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.
