CVE-2024-32022Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Arbitrary command execution via shell-interpreted image path

Published Apr 16, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Command injection in bmaltais kohya_ss 22.6.1 through 23.1.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the caption GUI. The gradio_basic_caption_gui_tab function places user-controlled images_dir data into a command string that caption_images executes through the POSIX shell without neutralizing metacharacters. An unauthenticated network user who can reach the Gradio interface gains command execution under the server process account; the documented proof of concept does not exploit Windows.
