CVE info copied to clipboard

Summary

An arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in versions 0.2.9 up to 0.5.10 of the Guardrails AI Guardrails framework because of the way it validates XML files. If a victim user loads a maliciously crafted XML file containing Python code, the code will be passed to an eval function, causing it to execute on the user's machine.

Impact

This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary Python code on the victim's machine. The impact could include unauthorized access to sensitive data, system compromise, installation of malware, or further lateral movement within the network. Given that Guardrails is an AI framework, this could potentially lead to manipulation of AI models or data, compromising the integrity and security of AI-driven systems.

Exploitation

There is no evidence that a public proof-of-concept exists. There is no evidence of proof of exploitation at the moment.

Patch

A patch is available. The vulnerability has been addressed, as indicated by the patch details provided by Github Advisory on September 18, 2024.

Mitigation

1. Update the Guardrails AI Guardrails framework to a version newer than 0.5.10 as soon as possible. 2. If immediate updating is not possible, implement strict input validation for XML files before processing them with the Guardrails framework. 3. Limit the permissions and access rights of processes running the Guardrails framework to minimize potential damage from code execution. 4. Monitor systems for suspicious activities, especially those related to unexpected Python code execution. 5. Implement network segmentation to isolate systems running the vulnerable versions of the Guardrails framework.
