Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

CVE-2025-67509

Severity High
Score 8.2/10

Summary

Neuron is a PHP framework for creating and orchestrating AI Agents. Versions through 2.8.11 use 'MySQLSelectTool', which is vulnerable to Read-Only Bypass. 'MySQLSelectTool' is intended to be a read-only SQL tool (e.g., for LLM agent querying); however, validation based on the first keyword (e.g., SELECT) and a forbidden-keyword list does not block file-writing constructs such as INTO 'OUTFILE /' INTO DUMPFILE. As a result, an attacker who can influence the tool input (e.g., via prompt injection through a public agent endpoint) may write arbitrary files to the DB server if the MySQL/MariaDB account has the FILE privilege and server configuration permits writes to a useful location (e.g., a web-accessible directory).

CWE-94 - Code Injection

Code injection is a type of vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability fully compromises the machine and can cause a wide variety of security issues, such as unauthorized access to sensitive information, manipulation of data, denial of service attacks etc. Code injection is different from command injection in the fact that it is limited by the functionality of the injected language (e.g. PHP), as opposed to command injection, which leverages existing code to execute commands, usually within the context of a shell.
