Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
MetaGPT versions up to and including 0.8.1 are affected. The flaw is in the check_solution function of the HumanEvalBenchmark and MBPPBenchmark components, and a manipulation there can lead to code injection that can be triggered remotely. A public exploit exists. No fix is listed, and the source gives few details on the exact input that triggers the issue.
