This flaw resides within the \u003ccode\u003eCodeExecutor.execute\u003c/code\u003e function in the \u003ccode\u003epandasai/core/code_execution/code_executor.py\u003c/code\u003e file, part of the Chat Message Handler component. An attacker can exploit this weakness by sending crafted input that leads to the injection and execution of arbitrary code on the target system. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable, meaning no local access is required. Publicly available exploit code exists, increasing the risk of widespread exploitation. The vendor was notified but did not respond. This vulnerability poses a significant risk to systems using vulnerable versions of PandasAI, potentially leading to complete system compromise.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker identifies a PandasAI instance running a version prior to or equal to 3.0.0.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker crafts a malicious input designed to be processed by the Chat Message Handler.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis input is sent to the vulnerable \u003ccode\u003eCodeExecutor.execute\u003c/code\u003e function.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003ccode\u003eCodeExecutor.execute\u003c/code\u003e function fails to properly sanitize the input.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe malicious input is interpreted as code.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe injected code is executed within the context of the PandasAI application.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker gains control over the server or application.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker may then escalate privileges, install malware, or exfiltrate sensitive data.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of CVE-2026-4998 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system running PandasAI. This could lead to a full system compromise, including data theft, modification, or destruction.
