Real-World Exposure
composio-coreReal-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
In composiohq/composio version 0.4.3, the mathematical_calculator endpoint uses the unsafe eval() function to perform mathematical operations. This can lead to arbitrary code execution if untrusted input is passed to the eval() function.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for composio-core, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update composio-core to 0.5.43 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-8953 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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.
