Prefab UI's Generative UI sandbox exposes the Deno API to caller-supplied Python code, so the code can read and write files as the server OS user. An attacker can also persist code execution by writing a .pth file into the server virtualenv's site-packages.
Summary written from the sources below. Check the originals before acting.
First seen by InfraStack 2026-11-01 16:20 UTC. All times on this page are UTC.
Teams running prefab-ui from 0.14.0 through 0.20.2 with Generative UI enabled and Deno installed on the host. The FastMCP GenerativeUI path is the usual remote route, and a server with no authentication lets any reachable client call the tool; with authentication, any client allowed to call tools can. Systems that do not enable Generative UI, or that lack Deno, are not affected by this path.

Prefab UI's Generative UI sandbox runs caller-supplied Python inside Pyodide, Python compiled to WebAssembly, in a Deno subprocess. The feature is documented as isolation for untrusted code, including LLM-written UI. From prefab-ui 0.14.0 through 0.20.2 the launcher starts Deno with unrestricted --allow-read, --allow-write, and --allow-net, and the runner leaves the Deno API on the JavaScript global object. Pyodide's js module proxies that global, so the Python can call Deno.readTextFileSync and Deno.writeTextFileSync. A caller who can supply the code can read and write files as the server OS user, and can persist code execution by writing a .pth file into the server virtualenv's site-packages. The usual remote path is FastMCP's GenerativeUI provider, which registers the MCP tool generate_prefab_ui and forwards that tool's code argument into this sandbox. On a FastMCP server with no authentication configured, any client who can reach the server can call the tool. With authentication, any client allowed to call tools can. Generative UI is opt-in, and the host must have Deno installed. Confirmed on prefab-ui 0.20.2. Fixed in 0.21.0: after the runtime and Prefab sources load, the runner revokes Deno read, write, and network permission before it accepts code, the process is started with --no-prompt so a permission request cannot grant them again, and bootstrap network access is limited to cdn.jsdelivr.net. The fix is commit 030f074 (pull request 538).
