# CVE-2024-23731: Code execution in Embedchain

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 1.1% , percentile 64: FIRST’s model estimates a 1.1% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 64% of all scored CVEs (moderate). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes embedchain (PyPI) < 0.1.57, fixed in 0.1.57 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

The OpenAPI loader in Embedchain before 0.1.57 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code, related to the openapi.py yaml.load function argument.

## Affected packages

- PyPI `embedchain` < 0.1.57 → fixed: 0.1.57

## Affected products (CVE record)

- n/a n/a: see advisory

## Severity

- GitHub CVSS 3.1: 9.8 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable yes , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 1.06% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 64.
