# CVE-2024-5826: Remote Code Execution via Prompt Injection in vanna-ai/vanna

- Also known as: GHSA-RRQQ-FV6M-692M, PYSEC-2026-562
- Severity: CVSS 9.8 (Critical), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2024-06-27 · Updated: 2025-10-15

## Affected

- vanna-ai vanna-ai/vanna: version range not reported
- vanna (PyPI): through 0.6.2

## Description

In the latest version of vanna-ai/vanna, the `vanna.ask` function is vulnerable to remote code execution due to prompt injection. The root cause is the lack of a sandbox when executing LLM-generated code, allowing an attacker to manipulate the code executed by the `exec` function in `src/vanna/base/base.py`. This vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to achieve remote code execution on the app backend server, potentially gaining full control of the server.
