Description
Devika v1.0 is vulnerable to Code Injection in the Runner.execute function in src/agents/runner/runner.py which allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution by exploiting the direct execution of LLM-generated content.
Published: 2026-09-30
Score: 9.8 Critical
EPSS: < 1% Very Low
KEV: No
Impact: Arbitrary code execution
Action: Immediate Patch
AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability resides in the Runner.execute function of Devika v1.0, where LLM‑generated content is executed directly without validation. This flaw can allow an attacker to inject arbitrary code, giving them the ability to run any commands on the host system. The weakness is a classic code‑injection scenario, enabling full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected environment.

Affected Systems

Devika v1.0, a generative‑AI‑driven automation tool, is the only product identified as affected. No vendor or version range beyond v1.0 is specified, so any instance of this release is potentially vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is <1% and the CVSS score is 9.8, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, suggesting that exploitation data is currently unknown. However, the nature of the flaw—unrestricted execution of LLM output—means that exploitation is feasible with minimal effort once the attacker controls the content fed to Runner.execute. The likely attack vector is indirect through any component that can supply LLM output to the function, such as user‑supplied prompts or external data feeds.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply an official patch or upgrade to a newer Devika release that removes direct execution of LLM‑generated code.
  • Disable or restrict the use of Runner.execute, or isolate it behind a sandbox or privilege‑reduced environment.
  • Add rigorous input validation or sanitization to the data passed to Runner.execute, ensuring no executable code can be injected.
