DescriptionCVE.org

CrewAI before fb2323b offers a Python blocklist approach that operates at the wrong level of abstraction, a different vulnerability than CVE-2026-2275. Import-time blocking of module names does not address the availability of Python's complete object graph. For example, calling ctypes.CDLL(None) loads the C library without relying in any import statements. In other words, a within-process sandbox cannot merely account for the import system and instead must account for the complete runtime of the Python interpreter.

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in CrewAI's CodeInterpreterTool allows untrusted Python code to break out of the in-process restricted execution environment and execute arbitrary commands on the host system. Pre-fix versions implemented import-time module name blocking as the sole security boundary, which is bypassable because Python's complete object graph remains accessible - for example, ctypes.CDLL(None) loads the C standard library via the dynamic linker without invoking any import machinery, and __class__.__mro__ traversal can recover the original __import__ built-in. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two concurrent conditions: first, the target deployment must use CodeInterpreterTool without Docker available, which in pre-fix versions triggered the now-removed restricted Python sandbox fallback - post-fix deployments raise a RuntimeError and refuse execution entirely in this scenario; second, the attacker must be able to influence the Python code submitted to the sandbox, either by having direct access to the code execution API or by successfully injecting a payload into the agent's prompt pipeline (prompt injection). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS vector AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L scores 8.1 and captures the scope-change (sandbox to host) and high integrity/confidentiality impacts well, but AV:L is a partial mismatch: in practice the CrewAI agent is typically accessed over a network API, and the attacker's influence over executed code arrives through prompt injection or the agent's API surface rather than local login. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upstream fix is available via commit fb2323b3deb3ec62b3965526857e77a2264e4cd0 (https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI/commit/fb2323b3deb3ec62b3965526857e77a2264e4cd0); a tagged release version incorporating this commit has not been independently confirmed from the available data, so users should verify the installed crewai-tools version includes this commit or upgrade to the latest available release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all systems using crewai-tools CodeInterpreterTool and immediately move production workloads to Docker-containerized deployments or disable the tool entirely; verify that non-containerized instances are removed from service. …
