Fooocus: Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code
CVE-2025-31114 is a critical-severity improper neutralization of directives in dynamically evaluated code vulnerability in Fooocus from Lllyasviel, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected Fooocus versions: <= 2.5.5. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.88% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 60% of scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Check which version of Fooocus you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
Affected products and versions
| Vendor | Product | Affected versions | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lllyasviel | Fooocus | <= 2.5.5 | Not stated |
Version data comes from the organisation that assigned the CVE. Confirm against the vendor advisory before deciding you are unaffected.

Official description
Fooocus is an image generating software. In versions 2.5.5 and prior, the Fooocus web UI is vulnerable to remote code execution due to the unsafe use of eval when processing metadata JSON. An attacker with access to the Fooocus web UI may be able to execute arbitrary code on the instance. As of time of publication, no known patched versions are available, but a suggested fix pull request is available.

The underlying weakness: Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code
The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes code syntax before using the input in a dynamic evaluation call (e.g. eval).
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- If possible, refactor your code so that it does not need to use eval() at all.
- For Python programs, it is frequently encouraged to use the ast.literal_eval() function instead of eval, since it is intentionally designed to avoid executing code. However, an adversary could still cause excessive memory or stack consumption via deeply nested structures, so the python documentation discourages use of ast.literal_eval() on untrusted data.
