GHSA-JQMF-MX4F-HFR6: GHSA-JQMF-MX4F-HFR6: Multiple Remote Code Execution and Security Flaws in Vibe-Trading AI-Agent Pipeline

A security analysis of the Vibe-Trading AI-agent pipeline (vibe-trading-ai) disclosed multiple critical vulnerabilities, tracked as GHSA-JQMF-MX4F-HFR6 with a CVSS score of 10.0, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands and Python code as root. The flaws stem from direct shell execution in agent tool workflows, unsafe dynamic module loading, and SSRF points in versions before 0.1.7. A public proof-of-concept exploit exists, and the report recommends upgrading to 0.1.7, running the service as a non-privileged user, and restricting API ports to localhost.

  GHSA-JQMF-MX4F-HFR6: Multiple Remote Code Execution and Security Flaws in Vibe-Trading AI-Agent Pipeline

**Vulnerability ID:** GHSA-JQMF-MX4F-HFR6

CVSS Score: 10.0

Published: 2026-10-02 An in-depth technical analysis of multiple critical security flaws identified in the Vibe-Trading ecosystem (vibe-trading-ai). These issues range from unauthenticated remote command injection via agent tool executions to arbitrary Python execution through dynamic module and unsafe Jinja2 template autoescaping, allowing full system compromise.

#

TL;DR

Unauthenticated remote attackers can execute arbitrary OS commands and Python scripts as root via vulnerable AI-agent tool workflows, backtest runner dynamics, and SSRF points in Vibe-Trading < 0.1.7.

⚠️ Exploit Status: POC

#

Technical Details

CWE ID : CWE-78, CWE-94, CWE-918 #

Attack Vector : Network / Unauthenticated API Request #

CVSS v3.1 : 10.0 (Critical) #

CVSS v4.0 : 9.3 (Critical) #

Exploit Status : Proof-of-Concept (PoC) Publicly Available #

Impact : Remote Code Execution (RCE) / Full System Compromise #

Root Cause : Direct shell execution, unsafe dynamic imports, and lack of authentication defaults

#

Affected Systems

- Vibe-Trading API service
- vibe-trading-ai python package
  • Vibe-Trading backtest execution environment

vibe-trading-ai : >= 0.1.0, < 0.1.7 (Fixed in:0.1.7 )

#

Code Analysis

Implement core API authentication, opt-in policies for shell tools, path traversal checks, and AST structural verification of dynamic python script modules.

#

Exploit Details

#

Mitigation Strategies

  • Disable powerful shell utilities by ensuring VIBE_TRADING_ENABLE_SHELL_TOOLS is not set to 1.
  • Enforce API token authentication policies using unique API keys verified via hmac.compare_digest.
  • Perform static analysis of all LLM-generated modules with Python's ast framework before dynamic .

Remediation Steps:

  1. Upgrade the python package vibe-trading-ai to version 0.1.7 or higher.
  2. Implement the non-privileged service user 'vibe' in Dockerfile configurations.
  3. Map API ports only to 127.0.0.1 within docker-compose.yml files.
