Technical details
A code injection flaw exists in the POST /api/v1/validate/code endpoint (src/backend/bisheng/api/v1/validate.py:post_validate_code) that fails to properly sanitize user-supplied Python code before evaluation. An attacker with network access to the bisheng API can send malicious Python code through the code parameter to achieve remote code execution with the privileges of the bisheng service process.
