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 prompt injection vulnerability in the chatbox of Blackbox AI v1.3.95 allows attackers to access and exfiltrate all previous and subsequent chat data between the user and the AI assistant via a crafted message.

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 prompt injection vulnerability in Blackbox AI v1.3.95's chatbox allows attackers to craft malicious messages that manipulate the AI into exposing previous chat history and intercepting subsequent messages, enabling full chat data exfiltration.

MitigationImplement input sanitization and prompt injection detection to filter malicious instructions, combined with output filtering to prevent the AI from revealing chat history data or processing unauthorized data access requests.

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. Identify Blackbox AI installation and version
    Check the installed version of Blackbox AI on the system (typically via application properties, about dialog, or installed programs list) and compare it to v1.3.95
    Affected if The installed version is Blackbox AI v1.3.95 specifically
  2. Confirm chatbox feature is in use
    Verify that the chatbox interface is actively used or accessible within the Blackbox AI application
    Affected if The chatbox feature is enabled and users can send/receive messages through it
  3. Review chat history for anomalies
    Inspect the chat history logs or storage for any unexpected entries that may indicate injection attempts, such as unusual system prompts, role-change instructions, or requests to ignore prior instructions
    Affected if Chat history contains messages that deviate from normal user queries or contain suspicious instruction payloads
  4. Check for unauthorized data access patterns
    Look for any chat session logs where the AI assistant returned previous conversation content or exposed data that should not have been accessible to the current session
    Affected if The AI has responded with chat history content from previous sessions or demonstrated knowledge of conversations it should not have access to

A user is affected if they are running Blackbox AI version 1.3.95 with the chatbox feature enabled and have observed the AI exposing prior chat history or processing unauthorized prompt injection commands.
