Technical Analysis
This vulnerability in MetaGPT 0.8.1 involves an OS command injection through the path argument of the RepoParser.rebuild_class_views() function. An attacker can exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system without requiring privileges or user interaction.
