Summary
OpenBMB Internet of Agents up to 9d78e88e47160eb42ee1ee8538c05e1c2c47877a is affected, and the product uses a rolling release model, so no specific affected release is listed. Manipulating the max_turns argument of the launch_goal function in communication_layer.py causes an infinite loop because the loop has no reachable exit condition (CWE-835). A remote attacker with low privileges can trigger it, and a public exploit is available.
