Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability report explicitly identifies the vanna.ask
function as the entry point for prompt injection attacks. This function processes user input, generates code via an LLM, and executes it using Python's exec
function in src/vanna/base/base.py
. The lack of a sandbox or restrictions around the exec
call allows arbitrary code execution. Since the advisory directly links vanna.ask
to the insecure exec
usage in the specified file, this function is the clear vulnerability source with high confidence.
