DescriptionCVE.org

Prompty is a markdown file format (.prompty) for LLM prompts. From 2.0.0-alpha.1 until 2.0.0-beta.3, the @prompty/core TypeScript loader in runtime/typescript/packages/core/src/core/loader.ts used gray-matter without overriding executable js and javascript frontmatter engines, allowing an attacker-controlled .prompty file with ---js frontmatter to execute arbitrary JavaScript during prompt loading. This issue is fixed in version 2.0.0-beta.3.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary JavaScript execution in Microsoft's @prompty/core TypeScript loader (2.0.0-alpha.1 through 2.0.0-beta.2) allows an attacker who supplies a crafted .prompty file to run code during prompt loading. The loader passed .prompty markdown to gray-matter without disabling its executable 'js'/'javascript' frontmatter engines, so a '---js' frontmatter block is evaluated as Node.js at parse time. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Craft .prompty with ---js frontmatter
Delivery
Deliver file via upload or shared repo
Exploit
Victim app loads file with @prompty/core
Execution
gray-matter evaluates JS frontmatter
Impact
Arbitrary code runs in host process

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the target application load an attacker-controlled .prompty file through the @prompty/core TypeScript loader (versions 2.0.0-alpha.1 to 2.0.0-beta.2). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals are largely consistent toward high but not maximum urgency. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker publishes or submits a .prompty file (e.g. via a prompt marketplace, shared repository, plugin, or user upload) containing a '---js' frontmatter block such as require('node:fs').writeFileSync(...) or a reverse-shell payload. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade @prompty/core (and dependent @prompty/* packages) to 2.0.0-beta.3 or later, which registers hardened js/javascript gray-matter engines that throw instead of evaluating executable frontmatter. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all applications and services using @prompty/core versions 2.0.0-alpha.1 through 2.0.0-beta.2 via dependency auditing tools. …
