Remote command execution via find argument injection
Published Jan 30, 2026 · Updated Jan 30, 2026
OS command injection in Alias Robotics CAI 0.5.10 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary host commands through prompt injection. The find_file function concatenates its agent-supplied args value into a find command that run_command passes to subprocess.Popen with shell=True, so a -exec option starts an attacker-chosen program. Exploitation requires a CAI agent to process attacker-controlled content, but the pre-approved find tool bypasses human approval and runs commands with the CAI process privileges.
