CVE-2025-48169
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 · uneditedImproper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in Jordy Meow Code Engine code-engine allows Remote Code Inclusion.This issue affects Code Engine: from n/a through <= 0.3.3.
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 confidenceA code injection vulnerability in Jordy Meow Code Engine (versions <= 0.3.3) allows remote code inclusion, enabling attackers to inject and execute malicious code remotely. The improper control of code generation allows unauthenticated attackers to leverage the plugin's functionality to include and execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Jordy Meow Code Engine installationLocate the installed package or application directory. Check for a version file, package.json, or similar metadata that indicates the installed version. Common locations include the application root directory or the system's package manager listing.Affected if The installed version is 0.3.3 or lower, or if no version can be determined but the product is present.
-
Verify if dynamic code execution features are exposedInspect the application's configuration files and exposed API endpoints to determine if the code engine accepts user-supplied code or expressions for execution. Look for endpoints that accept code input (such as eval, exec, compile, or similar code execution functions).Affected if The application exposes functionality that accepts and processes dynamic code without strict validation.
-
Review input validation mechanismsExamine the application's source code or configuration for input validation routines. Check if there are sanitization or validation functions applied to code inputs before execution. Inspect any whitelist or blacklist approaches used.Affected if No input validation exists, or validation can be bypassed through specially crafted inputs.
-
Check runtime environment configurationInspect the runtime configuration files (such as config files, environment settings, or runtime flags) to determine if security controls like disabled remote file inclusion or sandboxing are enabled.Affected if Remote file inclusion is enabled or no sandboxing/restriction mechanisms are configured around code execution features.
A user is affected if Jordy Meow Code Engine version 0.3.3 or lower is installed AND the application exposes code execution functionality to user-controlled inputs without proper validation.

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.
From vendor dataUpdate to the latest version of Code Engine when available, or implement strict input validation and whitelist-based controls on all code inclusion/evaluation functions. If remote code inclusion is not a required feature, disable it entirely.
