Summary: Command Injection Vulnerability in CAI Framework
A critical command injection vulnerability has been identified in the Cybersecurity AI (CAI) framework (versions <= 0.5.9), specifically in the run_ssh_command_with_credentials() function. This flaw allows remote command execution on the analyst’s machine, enabling hostile targets to potentially exploit security agents unknowingly.
Key Highlights:
- Vulnerability arises from incomplete shell escaping, which enables a hostile target to weaponize data.
- Built for AI automation, CAI empowers security professionals in:
- Vulnerability discovery
- Penetration testing
- Security assessments
- Impacts users engaged in blue-team automation, bug bounty workflows, and red-team simulations.
Remediation: A patch has been merged, though a patched release on PyPI is pending.
