Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
A vulnerability, that could result in Remote Code Execution (RCE), has been found in PlotAI. Lack of validation of LLM-generated output allows attacker to execute arbitrary Python code. Vendor commented out vulnerable line, further usage of the software requires uncommenting it and thus accepting the risk. The vendor does not plan to release a patch to fix this vulnerability.
Analysis
PlotAI is vulnerable to remote code execution because it executes LLM-generated Python code without validation. The vendor has acknowledged the flaw by commenting out the vulnerable line but does not plan to release a formal patch, leaving users who re-enable the feature at risk.
Technical Context
The application uses an LLM to generate Python plotting code from natural language queries, then executes it without sandboxing or validation (CWE-94). Since LLM outputs can be influenced through prompt injection, any user who can send queries to PlotAI can achieve code execution on the server.
Affected Products
PlotAI (all versions; vendor has no plans to patch)
Remediation
Do not use PlotAI in production or internet-facing environments. If usage is required, run it in a sandboxed container with no network access and limited filesystem permissions.
