Impact

A flaw in the Web-Page Crawling component of GreyDGL PentestGPT allows an attacker to manipulate the Traceback argument to inject code, leading to potential remote code execution. The vulnerability carries a low CVSS score of 2.3, indicating limited impact in isolation, but the injection capability could compromise confidentiality or integrity if exploited. The attack requires a high level of skill and is considered difficult to execute, though it has already been publicly disclosed.

Affected Systems

GreyDGL PentestGPT versions up to 1.0.0 are affected. The issue is documented for the component that performs web crawling and is referenced in GitHub repositories as well as vulnerability databases. No newer version information is provided in the current data set, so any deployment of version 1.0.0 or earlier is potentially vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The low CVSS score reflects a modest threat profile, but the vulnerability is remotely exploitable and publicly available. EPSS data is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, suggesting that while the risk is currently low, continuous monitoring is prudent. The complexity and difficulty markers imply that a skilled attacker could discover and use the flaw, though widespread exploitation is unlikely without further advancement or known exploits.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check if a newer version of PentestGPT is available and upgrade if it resolves the injection issue.
  • Validate or sanitize the Traceback parameter supplied to the crawling endpoint by implementing strict input filtering or whitelisting to prevent arbitrary code execution.
  • Restrict remote access to the crawling endpoint, using authentication or firewall rules to limit exposure to trusted users or internal networks.
