A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in SkyworkAI DeepResearchAgent up to 08eb7f8eb9505d0094d75bb97ff7dacc3fa3bbf2. Affected is the function from_code/from_dict/from_mcp of the file src/tools/tools.py. The manipulation leads to os command injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Continious delivery with rolling releases is used by this product. Therefore, no version details of affected nor updated releases are available. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component.
Command injection vulnerabilities typically occur when:
Many protocols and products have their own custom command language. While OS or shell command strings are frequently discovered and targeted, developers may not realize that these other command languages might also be vulnerable to attacks. Command injection is a common problem with wrapper programs.
