MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | While the CVSS 9.6 score indicates critical severity with network attack vector, low complexity, and no privileges required, the actual exploitation risk appears moderate based on multiple factors. The EPSS score of 0.12% (31st percentile) suggests relatively low real-world exploitation likelihood compared to other vulnerabilities. The vulnerability requires user interaction (UI:R) and has scope change (S:C), indicating some barriers to automated exploitation. However, the availability of a public proof-of-concept significantly increases the practical risk, and the fact that AI agents can access this function creates unique attack scenarios where the AI system could be manipulated to compromise itself. The lack of a patch at publication time elevates the urgency for affected organizations. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker could manipulate an AI agent to call the vulnerable run_ssh_command_with_credentials() function with malicious input in the username, host, or port fields, such as injecting shell commands through backticks or command substitution syntax. Since these parameters are not properly escaped, the injected commands would execute on the system running the CAI framework, potentially leading to full system compromise. A proof-of-concept exploit is publicly available demonstrating how to trick a security AI agent into pwning itself through this vulnerability. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 17, 2026
A critical command injection vulnerability exists in the Cybersecurity AI (CAI) framework versions 0.5.9 and below, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands through unsanitized SSH parameters (username, host, port) in the run_ssh_command_with_credentials() function accessible to AI agents. The vulnerability has a publicly available proof-of-concept exploit and enables remote code execution with potential for complete system compromise, though real-world exploitation probability remains relatively low at 0.12% EPSS score despite the high CVSS rating of 9.6.
RemediationAI
At the time of publication, no official patch is available from the vendor despite a commit (https://github.com/aliasrobotics/cai/commit/09ccb6e0baccf56c40e6cb429c698750843a999c) being referenced. Organizations should immediately disable or restrict access to the run_ssh_command_with_credentials() function in their CAI deployments, implement input validation for all SSH parameters (username, host, port) before processing, and consider sandboxing AI agent operations to limit potential damage. Monitor the GitHub advisory at https://github.com/aliasrobotics/cai/security/advisories/GHSA-4c65-9gqf-4w8h for updates on patch availability and apply immediately when released.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Cybersecurity AI (CAI) framework, identified as cpe:2.3:a:aliasrobotics:cybersecurity_ai:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, is an open-source platform for building AI-powered security automation tools. The vulnerability stems from CWE-77 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command), where the run_ssh_command_with_credentials() function only escapes password and command inputs but fails to sanitize username, host, and port parameters before passing them to shell commands. This allows attackers to inject shell metacharacters and execute arbitrary commands when these parameters are processed by the underlying SSH client.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionNVD
Cybersecurity AI (CAI) is an open-source framework for building and deploying AI-powered offensive and defensive automation. Versions 0.5.9 and below are vulnerable to Command Injection through the run_ssh_command_with_credentials() function, which is available to AI agents. Only password and command inputs are escaped in run_ssh_command_with_credentials to prevent shell injection; while username, host and port values are injectable. This issue does not have a fix at the time of publication.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2025-67511 presents critical security risk, a command injection vulnerability rated CVSS 9.6. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or commands on affected systems, potentially leading to full system compromise. Proof-of-concept code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation. A patch is available and should be applied immediately given the critical severity.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Deploy WAF rules to block injection patterns; (2) Restrict network access to affected components; (3) Enable enhanced logging for suspicious activity.
