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 Zhipu AI CodeGeeX v2.17.0 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 · high confidence

A prompt injection vulnerability in the chatbox of Zhipu AI CodeGeeX v2.17.0 allows remote attackers to craft malicious messages that can access and exfiltrate all previous and subsequent chat history between the user and the AI assistant.

MitigationImplement strict input validation and sanitization for all chat messages to detect and block prompt injection attempts, and consider implementing output filtering or context isolation to prevent AI responses from accessing chat session data.

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 if CodeGeeX is installed
    Locate the CodeGeeX installation directory or check installed packages/plugins in your IDE (VS Code, JetBrains) or check for the standalone CodeGeeX application
    Affected if CodeGeeX is not found in the system
  2. Determine the installed CodeGeeX version
    Access the CodeGeeX application or IDE plugin, then navigate to the Help/About section or check the version through the IDE extension manager to view the exact version number
    Affected if The installed version is 2.17.0
  3. Verify chatbox functionality is accessible
    Open the CodeGeeX interface and locate the chatbox feature - confirm it is enabled and accepts user input for conversations
    Affected if The chatbox is enabled and functional
  4. Confirm chat history storage exists
    Check if CodeGeeX stores conversation history locally or in a user profile directory - look for session logs, history files, or cached chat data
    Affected if Chat history is being stored by the application

If CodeGeeX version 2.17.0 is installed with the chatbox feature enabled and chat history is accessible, the environment is affected by CVE-2024-48141.

Mitigation

Implement strict input validation and sanitization for all chat messages to detect and block prompt injection attempts, and consider implementing output filtering or context isolation to prevent AI responses from accessing chat session data.
