Overview
Crawl4AI is a 🚀🤖 Crawl4AI: Open-source LLM Friendly Web Crawler & scraper
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection via the browser_config.extra_args parameter in API requests. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands as the container's runtime user by injecting malicious Chromium launch arguments, leading to full read/write access to application data, secrets, environment variables, and potential data exfiltration. This is only exploitable if the Docker API server is left unauthenticated and accessible to attackers.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by enabling API authentication, restricting API access, or running the container with a restrictive seccomp profile and disabling the execution of helper binaries.
