CVE-2026-43899

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

DeepChat is an open-source artificial intelligence agent platform that unifies models, tools, and agents. Prior to v1.0.4-beta.1, An incomplete mitigation for CVE-2025-55733 leaves DeepChat vulnerable to an arbitrary protocol execution bypass (RCE). While the patch correctly restricted api.openExternal() inside the renderer's preload/index.ts script, it structurally neglected to sanitize native Electron pop-up window handlers. An attacker or a compromised AI endpoint returning a Markdown link can trigger a target="_blank" native window interception in tabPresenter.ts, which forwards the malicious URL directly to shell.openExternal(url) and completely bypasses the isValidExternalUrl security boundary. This vulnerability is fixed in v1.0.4-beta.1.

Antes de la v1.0.4-beta.1, una mitigación incompleta para CVE-2025-55733 deja a DeepChat vulnerable a una omisión de ejecución de protocolo arbitrario (RCE). Aunque el parche restringió correctamente API.openExternal() dentro del script preload/index.ts del renderizador, estructuralmente descuidó sanear los manejadores de ventanas emergentes nativas de Electron. Un atacante o un endpoint de IA comprometido que devuelve un enlace Markdown puede activar una intercepción de ventana nativa target=’_blank’ en tabPresenter.ts, que reenvía la URL maliciosa directamente a shell.openExternal(url) y omite completamente el límite de seguridad isValidExternalUrl. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en la v1.0.4-beta.1."
