Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the brycedrennan/imaginairy repository, version 15.0.0. The vulnerability is present in the `/api/stablestudio/generate` endpoint, which can be exploited by sending an invalid request. This causes the server process to terminate abruptly, outputting `KILLED` in the terminal, and results in the unavailability of the server. This issue disrupts the server's functionality, affecting all users.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A Denial of Service vulnerability exists in brycedrennan/imaginairy v15.0.0 in the /api/stablestudio/generate endpoint. Sending an invalid request causes the server process to terminate abruptly, outputting 'KILLED' and rendering the server unavailable to all users.

MitigationImplement proper input validation and exception handling in the /api/stablestudio/generate endpoint to prevent process termination. Additionally, run the server process with appropriate process management (e.g., supervisor, systemd) to enable automatic restart on failure.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check imaginairy installation
    Run 'pip show imaginairy' or 'pip list' to list installed packages and verify imaginairy is installed
    Affected if imaginairy version 1.5.0.0 is installed
  2. Verify the version number
    In the pip output, locate the 'Version' field and confirm it shows 1.5.0.0
    Affected if Version is exactly 1.5.0.0 (if different, check whether the version falls within the affected range if more become known)
  3. Confirm Stablestudio API endpoint is enabled
    Check if the imaginairy server was started with the Stablestudio API enabled; look for '--api' flag or configuration that exposes /api/stablestudio/generate
    Affected if The Stablestudio API endpoint (/api/stablestudio/generate) is exposed and accessible
  4. Inspect server process status
    Check if the imaginairy server process is currently running or has recently crashed; look for 'KILLED' in server logs or process output
    Affected if Server process has been terminated with 'KILLED' message, indicating the vulnerability was triggered

Environment is affected if imaginairy version 1.5.0.0 is installed AND the /api/stablestudio/generate endpoint is exposed and accessible.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Implement proper input validation and exception handling in the /api/stablestudio/generate endpoint to prevent process termination. Additionally, run the server process with appropriate process management (e.g., supervisor, systemd) to enable automatic restart on failure.
