CVE-2024-12366 — pandasai
CRITICALCVE-2024-12366 is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.8) remote code execution vulnerability in pandasai. The records list no fixed version yet; check the vendor advisory below and apply the mitigations in the meantime.
PandasAI interactive prompt function Remote Code Execution (RCE)
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

Real-World Exposure
pandasaiReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
PandasAI uses an interactive prompt function that is vulnerable to prompt injection and run arbitrary Python code that can lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE) instead of the intended explanation of the natural language processing by the LLM. The security controls of PandasAI (2.4.3 and earlier) fail to distinguish between legitimate and malicious inputs, allowing the attackers to manipulate the system into executing untrusted code, leading to untrusted code execution (RCE), system compromise, or pivoting attacks on connected services.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for pandasai, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
The records we use list no patched version of pandasai for CVE-2024-12366. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
