Description
AstronRPA through 1.1.6 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the desktop client's smart-component chat that allows remote attackers to execute OS commands by abusing unsanitized LLM output rendered via v-html. Attackers can embed prompt-injection content in a web page so the model emits HTML event handlers invoking the unrestricted open-path IPC handler with shell metacharacters, executing commands as the desktop user.

Impact

AstronRPA desktop client versions through 1.1.6 contain a cross‑site scripting flaw in the smart‑component chat component. The client renders language‑model output via Vue’s v‑html without sanitization, allowing an attacker to embed malicious HTML that includes event handlers. When a user interacts with the page, those handlers call the open‑path IPC bridge and inject shell metacharacters, which the bridge then executes as the desktop user, providing remote execution of arbitrary OS commands.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the iflytek AstronRPA desktop application, specifically all releases up to and including 1.1.6. Users running these versions on any supported operating system are susceptible if the smart‑component chat feature is enabled.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.7 rates this flaw as High severity. No EPSS data is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Attackers can exploit it remotely by delivering crafted content to the chat via a malicious web page. It is inferred that the exploit does not require authentication, as the component handling the IPC bridge does not impose authentication checks, and that the attack can be carried out from any network capable of supplying the malicious page to the vulnerable client.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade AstronRPA to version 1.1.7 or later where the XSS input sanitization is fixed
  • If an upgrade is not possible, disable or remove the smart‑component chat feature to eliminate the vulnerable rendering pathway
  • Configure the application to escape or block all HTML content from the language model before rendering, and restrict the IPC bridge to only trusted commands
