Prompt injection which leads to arbitrary code execution
System Info
BambooAI: 0.3.52 os: macOS 14.3.1 python: 3.12
Summary
During the use of the BambooAI framework, we discovered a potential security bypass in the BambooAI.execute_code method located in bambooai/bambooai.py. This issue allows users to inject malicious instructions, which can be exploited to execute arbitrary harmful actions, bypassing the intended security checks on the outputs of large models.
Details
The user directly runs the program using BambooAI.pd_agent_converse, which then waits for user input. When the user interacts with the large model using a malicious prompt and requests that the LLM include risky instructions in its response, the returned result bypasses the security checks and executes the malicious instructions.

Yes, you should never run it directly, particularly if exposed to outside world. In a multiuser setup this could be done via Docker where each user get their own container, and the container orchestration can be done via something like Nomad. repo includes a basic container API (https://github.com/pgalko/BambooAI/blob/main/web_app/code_executor_api.py) , that can be called from the main app when the 'api' parameter is set to True. Or alternatively you run the whole thing in a container, instructions here: https://github.com/pgalko/BambooAI/wiki/Docker-Installation-Guide-for-BambooAI
