## What is CVE-2024-6982?

CVE-2024-6982 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in parisneo/lollms, published on 20 Mar 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Calculate function of parisneo/lollms version 9.8. The vulnerability arises from the use of Python's `eval()` function to evaluate mathematical expressions within a Python sandbox that disables `__builtins__` and only allows functions from the `math` module. This sandbox can be bypassed by loading the `os` module using the `_frozen_importlib.BuiltinImporter` class, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the server. The issue is fixed in version 9.10.

Weakness: CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code)

What it is: CVE-2024-6982 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in parisneo/lollms, published on 20 Mar 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-6982 exists.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- lollms (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 11.0.0
- lollms (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 11.0.0
- lollms (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 11.0.0

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
