CVE-2025-59053
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability in AIRI v0.7.2-beta.2 allows attackers to achieve remote code execution through a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. The XSS vulnerability in the Markdown renderer enables malicious JavaScript execution, which can then call the exposed Tauri API to execute arbitrary commands on the host system. All users running the vulnerable version are affected.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the AIRI process, potentially leading to data theft, system takeover, or lateral movement.
Likely Case
Attackers exploiting the XSS vulnerability to execute malicious JavaScript that calls the command execution interface, allowing limited command execution within the application's context.
If Mitigated
If proper input validation and output encoding were implemented, the XSS would be prevented, and command execution would require proper authentication and authorization checks.
🎯 Exploit Status
The exploit chain is straightforward: XSS leads to JavaScript execution which calls the exposed command execution API. No authentication is required for the initial XSS vector.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: v0.7.2-beta.3
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/moeru-ai/airi/security/advisories/GHSA-9832-f8jx-hw6f
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Stop the AIRI application. 2. Update to v0.7.2-beta.3 or later. 3. Restart the application. 4. Verify the fix by checking the version and testing Markdown rendering.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Disable Markdown card processing
allTemporarily disable or restrict processing of external Markdown card files to prevent XSS vector
Network isolation
allPlace AIRI behind a firewall and restrict access to trusted users only
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Immediately isolate the AIRI instance from the network and restrict access to localhost only
- Implement strict input validation for all user-supplied content and disable the MCP plugin if not required
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if running AIRI v0.7.2-beta.2. Review application logs for suspicious Markdown processing or command execution attempts.Check Version:
Check the AIRI application version in the UI or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Update to v0.7.2-beta.3 or later and verify that Markdown content is properly sanitized and the command execution interface requires proper validation.📡 Detection & Monitoring
