DescriptionCVE.org

Crawl4AI is an open-source LLM-friendly web crawler and scraper. Prior to 0.9.0, the Docker API server accepted request-supplied browser_config.extra_args, which flowed into Chromium's launch arguments. An attacker could inject Chromium switches that replace a child-process launch command together with --no-zygote, causing Chromium to fork or exec an attacker-controlled command as the container's runtime user. The Docker API is unauthenticated by default, so a single request yields arbitrary command execution. This issue is fixed in version 0.9.0.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Crawl4AI's Docker API server (versions prior to 0.9.0) lets unauthenticated attackers run arbitrary commands as the container runtime user. The server passes request-supplied browser_config.extra_args directly into Chromium's launch arguments, enabling argument injection (CWE-88) of a malicious child-process launcher combined with --no-zygote. …

Access

Delivery
Send crafted request with malicious browser_config.extra_args
Exploit
Inject child-process launcher plus --no-zygote
Execution
Chromium forks attacker-controlled command
Impact
Arbitrary code execution as container user

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reachability to the Crawl4AI Docker API server and that the request path accepts browser_config.extra_args (the default behavior prior to 0.9.0). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine top-priority issue, not a high-CVSS-but-low-risk artifact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker scans for internet-exposed Crawl4AI Docker API endpoints and sends a single crafted crawl request whose browser_config.extra_args includes a child-process-launcher override plus --no-zygote pointing at an attacker-chosen command. When Crawl4AI launches Chromium with those injected switches, Chromium execs the attacker's command as the container runtime user, yielding immediate arbitrary code execution. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Crawl4AI 0.9.0, which is the authoritative fix per the GHSA advisory (https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai/security/advisories/GHSA-r253-r9jw-qg44) and commit 60886d1a0c52682e4c83a7cef9dfac417fff6bd2. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

24 hours: Inventory systems running Crawl4AI prior to v0.9.0; restrict Docker API network access to trusted networks only or disable entirely if not operationally required. …
