Last modified

CVE-2026-53597 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.7/10 on the CVSS scale. Prompty is a markdown file format (.prompty) for LLM prompts. From 2.0.0-alpha.1 until 2.0.0-beta.3, the @prompty/core TypeScript loader in runtime/typescript/packages/core/src/core/loader.ts used gray-matter without overriding executable js and javascript frontmatter engines, allowing an attacker-controlled .prompty file with ---js frontmatter to execute arbitrary JavaScript during prompt loading. EPSS estimates a 0.93% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
