Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A security flaw has been discovered in exo-explore exo up to 1.0.71. Affected is the function _image_cache_key of the file src/exo/worker/engines/mlx/vision.py of the component Vision Feature Cache. The manipulation results in use of weak hash. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. A high complexity level is associated with this attack. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The pull request to fix this issue awaits acceptance.
AnalysisAI
Weak hashing in exo-explore exo up to version 1.0.71 exposes the Vision Feature Cache to hash collision attacks via the _image_cache_key function in src/exo/worker/engines/mlx/vision.py. A remote, unauthenticated attacker capable of engineering the necessary collision inputs could disclose cached vision feature data, yielding a low confidentiality impact. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the target to be running exo-explore exo with the MLX vision engine actively processing images - this is specific to Apple Silicon nodes where the vision feature is enabled. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N) scores 6.3, reflecting remote exploitability with no authentication required but high attack complexity, and only low confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A remote attacker with knowledge of exo's caching internals submits carefully crafted image inputs designed to collide under the weak hash function used by `_image_cache_key`, causing the cache to return a result associated with a different image. Published POC code in GitHub issue #2151 documents the collision technique. … |
| Remediation | An upstream fix is available as GitHub pull request https://github.com/exo-explore/exo/pull/2152, but it awaits merge acceptance - a tagged patched release is not independently confirmed at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
