An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-43364 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- searchor (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.4.2\n- searchor (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.4.2\n- searchor (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.4.2\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43364/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43364/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-43364","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43364/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-43364","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-66m2-493m-crh2","PYSEC-2023-262"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python search library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via CLI input in the Searchor library due to unsafe eval usage.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"searchor","vendor":"arjunsharda"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-74","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component"},{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"main.py in Searchor before 2.4.2 uses eval on CLI input, which may cause unexpected code execution.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2024-04-26","github_poc":3,"max_poc_stars":1,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-06-30T00:12:09Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Herick-Costa/CVE-2023-43364-Searchor-RCE-Exploit","stars":1,"title":"POC exploit via unsafe `eval()` usage in Searchor (\u003c 2.4.2)"},{"date":"2024-04-26T03:09:09Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/libertycityhacker/CVE-2023-43364-Exploit-CVE","stars":0,"title":null},{"date":"2026-09-29T22:46:44Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/IamSaishi/CVE-2023-43364_Exploit","stars":0,"title":null}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Searchor CLI's Search vulnerable to Arbitrary Code using Eval","id":"CVE-2023-43364","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2023"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-43371"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2.4.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"searchor","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-66m2-493m-crh2"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2.4.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"searchor","purl":"pkg:pypi/searchor","source":"GHSA-66m2-493m-crh2"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2.4.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"searchor","purl":"pkg:pypi/searchor","source":"PYSEC-2023-262"}],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-43361"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-12-12","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-09","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via CLI input in the Searchor library due to unsafe eval usage.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43364/"}
