Summary
esengine DeepSeek-Reasonix up to and including 2.52.0 is affected. The discoverDocs function in internal/memory/doc.go does not neutralize input used for LLM prompting (CWE-1427), so untrusted content can be mixed into prompts. A remote attacker can exploit this if a user interacts with crafted content. The exploit has been publicly disclosed.
