A weakness has been identified in huggingface smolagents 1.24.0. Impacted is the function requests.get/requests.post of the component LocalPythonExecutor.

The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
Hugging Face Smolagents version 1.20.0 contains an XPath injection vulnerability in the searchitemctrlf function located in src/smolagents/visionwebbrowser.py. The function constructs an XPath query by directly concatenating user-supplied input into the XPath expression without proper sanitization or escaping. This allows an attacker to inject malicious XPath syntax that can alter the intended query logic. The vulnerability enables attackers to bypass search filters, access unintended DOM elements, and disrupt web automation workflows. This can lead to information disclosure, manipulation of AI agent interactions, and compromise the reliability of automated web tasks. The issue is fixed in version 1.22.0.
