Summary

Vulnerability in CodeRAG before 1.3.1. The default sync flow invokes _sync_gradle, which prefers a repository-controlled gradlew or gradlew.bat file and passes it directly to asyncio.create_subprocess_exec without validating the file's content. A victim indexing an attacker-controlled repository executes attacker-supplied code with the victim's OS privileges, potentially leading to disclosure, modification, persistence, or DoS.

Risk Assessment

An attack can lead to full compromise of the user environment, including data theft, file modification, and malware installation.

Recommendation

Update CodeRAG to version 1.3.1 or later and be cautious when indexing repositories from untrusted sources.

Original NVD description (English source)

CodeRAG is a lightweight semantic code search and distillation utility for AI coding agents. Prior to 1.3.1, the default agent-coderag sync flow in code_rag/entry/cli.py calls sync_dependencies for an indexed path, and code_rag/core/manager.py treats build.gradle or build.gradle.kts as sufficient to invoke _sync_gradle. _sync_gradle prefers a repository-controlled gradlew or gradlew.bat file and passes it directly to asyncio.create_subprocess_exec with the repository root as the working directory; validate_path in code_rag/core/utils.py constrains the directory location but does not validate the executable's content or integrity. A victim who indexes an attacker-controlled Gradle repository therefore executes attacker-supplied code with the victim's operating-system privileges, allowing disclosure, modification, persistence, or denial of service in the user environment. This issue is fixed in 1.3.1.
