Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: Pipecat (v0.0.41-0.0.93) suffers from **Unsafe Deserialization**. π **Consequence**: Attackers can achieve **Remote Code Execution (RCE)** by injecting malicious payloads into WebSocket streams.β¦
π₯ **Affected**: Users of **Pipecat** framework. π **Versions**: **0.0.41** through **0.0.93**. π’ **Vendor**: pipecat-ai. β οΈ Check your version immediately!
Q4What can hackers do? (Privileges/Data)
π **Hacker Power**: Full **Remote Code Execution**. π **Access**: Can read/modify any data, install backdoors, or pivot to other systems. π **Privileges**: Runs with the same rights as the Pipecat process.β¦
β‘ **Threshold**: **LOW**. π **Auth**: None required (PR:N). π±οΈ **UI**: None required (UI:N). π‘ **Vector**: Network (AV:N). π― Any remote attacker can exploit this via WebSocket connections.
Q6Is there a public Exp? (PoC/Wild Exploitation)
π« **Public Exploit**: No specific PoC code provided in the data. π **Reference**: GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-c2jg-5cp7-6wc7) confirms the flaw.β¦
π **Self-Check**: Scan for `pickle.loads` in `LivekitFrameSerializer`. π‘ Monitor WebSocket traffic for unexpected binary payloads. π οΈ Use SAST tools to detect unsafe deserialization patterns in Python code.β¦
π§ **No Patch?**: **Disable** WebSocket deserialization if possible. π« **Block** `pickle` usage entirely; switch to JSON or MessagePack. π **Isolate**: Run Pipecat in a restricted container/sandbox.β¦
π₯ **Urgency**: **CRITICAL**. π¨ CVSS Score: **9.8** (High). β³ **Priority**: Patch immediately. This is a trivial RCE vector with no authentication needed. Do not wait for an exploit to appear; the flaw is fundamental.
