CVE-2025-4032Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote command execution via shell metacharacter interpretation

Published Apr 28, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2025

OS command injection in inclusionAI AWorld 0.2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute commands through its shell tool. The execute and execute_async methods pass script strings to subprocess.run or subprocess.Popen with shell=True, causing shell metacharacters to be interpreted. Reachability requires a deployed interface that forwards attacker-controlled text to these methods; commands run with the AWorld process's privileges.
