CVE-2023-43364
CWE-74Published: December 12, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
main.py in Searchor before 2.4.2 uses eval on CLI input, which may cause unexpected code execution.
Risk Analysis
Searchor uses the eval function on command-line input, which allows for arbitrary code execution. This is a critical security risk as it permits an attacker to run unauthorized commands on the host system.
The flaw is remotely exploitable with low complexity, but there is no known public exploit.
Update Searchor to version 2.4.2 or later to remove the use of eval on user-supplied input.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-43364 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
