DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was found in zhayujie CowAgent up to 2.1.3. This impacts the function BrowserTool of the file agent/tools/browser/browser_tool.py of the component Browser Tool. Performing a manipulation results in denial of service. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Denial of service in zhayujie CowAgent up to version 2.1.3 allows a low-privileged remote attacker to crash or hang the agent service by sending a crafted input to the BrowserTool component in agent/tools/browser/browser_tool.py. The underlying cause (CWE-404) is improper resource shutdown or release - likely a browser subprocess or evaluation call that hangs indefinitely rather than timing out cleanly. …
