Title
vxcontrol PentAGI Tool Management Protocol pentester.tmpl sandbox
Summary
A weakness has been identified in vxcontrol PentAGI up to 2.1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file backend/pkg/templates/prompts/pentester.tmpl of the component Tool Management Protocol Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to sandbox issue. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The attack requires a high level of complexity. It is indicated that the exploitability is difficult. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
