Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Risk Assessment	This vulnerability presents significant real-world risk despite a CVSS 6.9 base score. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario	An attacker sends a malicious request to a MetaGPT agent endpoint, injecting shell metacharacters (e.g., semicolons, pipes, or backticks) into parameters that are passed to Terminal.run_command without sanitization. The injected commands execute with the privileges of the MetaGPT process, allowing the attacker to read sensitive files, modify system state, or pivot to other systems. …
Remediation	Apply the vendor-released patch identified by commit d04ffc8dc67903e8b327f78ec121df5e190ffc7b from the MetaGPT repository. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
