Description

HKUDS Vibe-Trading from 0.1.0 before 0.1.7 contains an indirect prompt injection vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute shell commands as root by planting instructions in documents or web pages the agent processes. BashTool and BackgroundRunTool pass model-emitted commands to subprocess.run with shell=True and no allow-list or approval step, and read_url fetches arbitrary URLs, enabling command execution and server-side request forgery.
