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
ByteDance DeerFlow versions prior to commit 92c7a20 contain a sandbox escape vulnerability in bash tool handling that allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the host system by bypassing regex-based validation using shell features such as directory changes and relative paths. Attackers can exploit the incomplete shell semantics modeling to read and modify files outside the sandbox boundary and achieve arbitrary command execution through subprocess invocation with shell interpretation enabled.

Commit 92c7a20cb74addc3038d2131da78f2e239ef542e or subsequent release

  1. 1. Identify the current running version of DeerFlow by checking the application version or git commit hash
  2. 2. Navigate to the DeerFlow repository at https://github.com/bytedance/deer-flow
  3. 3. Check the repository release tags or commit history to find a version/commit dated 2026-03-29 or later that includes fix commit 92c7a20cb74addc3038d2131da78f2e239ef542e
  4. 4. Pull the latest code or checkout the specific fixed commit: git fetch origin && git checkout 92c7a20cb74addc3038d2131da78f2e239ef542e
  5. 5. Rebuild and redeploy the DeerFlow application with the patched version
  6. 6. Verify the sandbox escape vulnerability is resolved by testing that bash tool commands cannot bypass regex validation using directory changes (cd), relative paths, or shell metacharacters
