Overview
factool is a Factuality Detection for Generative AI
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection through the run_single and run functions in the class python_executor due to using the exec() function to execute user-provided input without any form of validation. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by manipulating the input parameters to the function. This can lead to unauthorized access to system resources, data leakage, or even complete system compromise.
Note: This is only exploitable if the attacker has local access to the system.
