CVE-2025-67511
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2025-67511 is a command injection vulnerability in Cybersecurity AI (CAI) framework versions 0.5.9 and below. Attackers can inject malicious commands through username, host, or port parameters in the run_ssh_command_with_credentials() function, potentially gaining remote code execution. This affects organizations using CAI for AI-powered security automation.
💻 Affected Systems
- Cybersecurity AI (CAI) framework
⚠️ Manual Verification Required
This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.
Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

- Review the CVE details at NVD
- Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
- Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
- Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Full system compromise with attacker gaining shell access, installing persistence mechanisms, pivoting to other systems, and exfiltrating sensitive data.
Likely Case
Limited command execution within the context of the CAI agent, potentially allowing lateral movement within the network or data theft.
If Mitigated
Isolated impact within the CAI container/environment if proper network segmentation and least privilege are implemented.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires access to trigger the vulnerable function, but the injection itself is straightforward once that access is obtained.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: None available
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/aliasrobotics/cai/security/advisories/GHSA-4c65-9gqf-4w8h
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch exists. Monitor the GitHub repository for updates and apply immediately when available.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement strict input validation for username, host, and port parameters before passing to run_ssh_command_with_credentials()
# Custom validation logic required based on implementation
Function Restriction
allDisable or restrict access to run_ssh_command_with_credentials() function for AI agents
# Modify CAI configuration to remove/restrict vulnerable function
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Network segmentation: Isolate CAI systems from critical infrastructure and implement strict firewall rules
- Least privilege: Run CAI agents with minimal necessary permissions and monitor for suspicious command execution
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check CAI version and review code usage of run_ssh_command_with_credentials() functionCheck Version:
cai --version or check package metadataVerify Fix Applied:
Test with controlled malicious inputs in username/host/port parameters to confirm proper sanitization📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual command execution patterns from CAI processes
- SSH connections with anomalous parameters
Network Indicators:
- Unexpected outbound connections from CAI systems
- SSH traffic to unusual destinations
SIEM Query:
process_name:"cai" AND (command_line:"run_ssh_command" OR command_line CONTAINS suspicious_patterns)
