CVE-2025-11844 is an XPath injection vulnerability in Hugging Face's Smolagents version 1.20.0, specifically in the search_item_ctrl_f function. The vulnerability arises from unsanitized user input being directly concatenated into XPath queries, allowing attackers to manipulate query logic. Exploitation can bypass search filters, access unintended DOM elements, and disrupt automated web tasks, potentially leading to information disclosure and manipulation of AI agent interactions. The flaw is fixed in version 1.22.0. The CVSS score is 5.4 (medium severity), with no known exploits in the wild.

A sandbox escape vulnerability was identified in huggingface/smolagents version 1.14.0, allowing attackers to bypass the restricted execution environment and achieve remote code execution (RCE). The vulnerability stems from the local_python_executor.py module, which inadequately restricts Python code execution despite employing static and dynamic checks. Attackers can exploit whitelisted modules and functions to execute arbitrary code, compromising the host system. This flaw undermines the core security boundary intended to isolate untrusted code, posing risks such as unauthorized code execution, data leakage, and potential integration-level compromise. The issue is resolved in version 1.17.0.
