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 vulnerability was identified in SimStudioAI sim up to 1.0.0. This impacts an unknown function of the file apps/sim/app/api/function/execute/route.ts. The manipulation of the argument code leads to code injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely.

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

SimStudioAI sim up to version 1.0.0 contains a code injection vulnerability in the API endpoint apps/sim/app/api/function/execute/route.ts. The 'code' argument is not properly sanitized before execution, allowing remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary code on the server.

MitigationImplement strict input validation and sanitization for the code parameter, and refactor to avoid dynamic code execution (e.g., avoid eval, Function constructor, or similar mechanisms). Prefer allowlist-based validation or sandboxed execution environments.

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. Confirm SimStudioAI sim is installed
    Check your project dependencies (package.json, node_modules) for the SimStudioAI sim package, or check your application for the existence of the apps/sim directory structure
    Affected if The SimStudioAI sim package or the apps/sim directory is present in your environment
  2. Identify the installed version
    Run 'npm list simstudioai-sim' or check the version field in your package.json for the simstudioai-sim dependency
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0.0
  3. Locate the vulnerable API endpoint file
    Search your codebase for the file at path apps/sim/app/api/function/execute/route.ts
    Affected if This file exists in your project
  4. Check for unsafe code execution patterns
    Inspect the route.ts file and look for usage of eval(), new Function(), or similar dynamic code execution mechanisms that process the 'code' parameter without sanitization
    Affected if The code parameter from the request is passed directly to eval, Function constructor, or other dynamic execution functions without validation or sanitization

You are affected if SimStudioAI sim version 1.0.0 is installed and the vulnerable endpoint file apps/sim/app/api/function/execute/route.ts exists with unsafe handling of the code parameter.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
