Title
CodeWhale before 0.8.64 Remote Code Execution via allow_shell
Summary
CodeWhale versions before 0.8.64 fail to properly validate the allow_shell configuration parameter from project config files, allowing attackers to enable arbitrary shell command execution by committing a malicious .codewhale/config.toml file to a repository. When a user clones and opens the repository in CodeWhale, the AI model gains access to exec_shell and task_shell tools, enabling execution of arbitrary shell commands on the victim's machine without explicit user consent.

CVE-2026-75858 (GCVE-0-2026-75858)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-18 15:21 – Updated: 2026-08-18 17:59

Title
CodeWhale rlm_eval before 0.8.64 Remote Code Execution
Summary
CodeWhale (packages codewhale / codewhale-tui) versions >= 0.8.41 and < 0.8.64 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the rlm_eval tool. The tool's approval_requirement() returns ApprovalRequirement::Auto, which the engine treats as 'never prompt,' causing arbitrary model-supplied Python code to run in a python3 interpreter without consulting the user's configured --approval-policy and without any approval prompt or audit step. An attacker can induce the agent to execute arbitrary code via prompt injection in untrusted content the agent reads (a web page, fetched URL, repository file, or MCP tool result); the companion rlm_open tool can stage such content. Code runs on the user's machine at the user's privilege level. Fixed in 0.8.64.

Title
Grav before 2.0.15 Arbitrary File Write via error_log
Summary
Grav before 2.0.15 contains an arbitrary file write vulnerability in the Blueprint dynamic-data bare-function validation that uses an incomplete denylist instead of a positive allowlist. Attackers with page-edit or blueprint-config access can invoke the error_log function through a data directive to append PHP payloads to web-accessible files, achieving remote code execution.

Title
marimo < 0.23.15 Code Injection via MCP Server Configuration
Summary
marimo before 0.23.15 contains a code injection vulnerability in the notebook configuration handler that allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands by supplying a crafted MCP server entry with an attacker-controlled command value embedded in a notebook. When the notebook is opened in edit mode, marimo launches the specified command as a local subprocess before any notebook cell is executed, requiring no authentication or cell execution to trigger the vulnerability.

Title
ImpressCMS Authenticated RCE via PHP Custom Tag eval()
Summary
ImpressCMS contains an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the custom tag module that allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary PHP code by storing a malicious payload in a custom tag with PHP type enabled. The application decodes HTML-encoded content via undoHtmlSpecialChars() before passing it to eval() in the renderWithPhp() method, bypassing HTML Purifier sanitization, and the payload is triggered on every frontend page load through the preload event system.

Title
MindsDB Minds Platform v26.1.0 Unauthenticated RCE via scratchpad exec()
Summary
MindsDB Minds Platform version 26.1.0 and earlier contains an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands by submitting crafted prompts to the unprotected POST /api/v1/responses/ endpoint, which reaches the Anton agent's scratchpad tool that calls exec() on attacker-influenced Python source without sandboxing. Attackers can first configure their own LLM API key through the unauthenticated PUT /api/v1/settings/ endpoint, then POST a prompt directing the agent to invoke the scratchpad tool with arbitrary Python code, achieving full OS command execution as the user running the desktop application and enabling access to SSH keys, stored credentials, and environment secrets.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Refactoring

Refactor your program so that you do not have to dynamically generate code.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Run your code in a "jail" or similar sandbox environment that enforces strict boundaries between the process and the operating system. This may effectively restrict which code can be executed by your product.
  • Examples include the Unix chroot jail and AppArmor. In general, managed code may provide some protection.
  • This may not be a feasible solution, and it only limits the impact to the operating system; the rest of your application may still be subject to compromise.
  • Be careful to avoid CWE-243 and other weaknesses related to jails.
Mitigation MIT-5
Implementation

Strategy: Input Validation

  • Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
  • When performing input validation, consider all potentially relevant properties, including length, type of input, the full range of acceptable values, missing or extra inputs, syntax, consistency across related fields, and conformance to business rules. As an example of business rule logic, "boat" may be syntactically valid because it only contains alphanumeric characters, but it is not valid if the input is only expected to contain colors such as "red" or "blue."
  • Do not rely exclusively on looking for malicious or malformed inputs. This is likely to miss at least one undesirable input, especially if the code's environment changes. This can give attackers enough room to bypass the intended validation. However, denylists can be useful for detecting potential attacks or determining which inputs are so malformed that they should be rejected outright.
  • To reduce the likelihood of code injection, use stringent allowlists that limit which constructs are allowed. If you are dynamically constructing code that invokes a function, then verifying that the input is alphanumeric might be insufficient. An attacker might still be able to reference a dangerous function that you did not intend to allow, such as system(), exec(), or exit().
Mitigation
Testing

Use dynamic tools and techniques that interact with the product using large test suites with many diverse inputs, such as fuzz testing (fuzzing), robustness testing, and fault injection. The product's operation may slow down, but it should not become unstable, crash, or generate incorrect results.

Mitigation MIT-32
Operation

Strategy: Compilation or Build Hardening

Run the code in an environment that performs automatic taint propagation and prevents any command execution that uses tainted variables, such as Perl's "-T" switch. This will force the program to perform validation steps that remove the taint, although you must be careful to correctly validate your inputs so that you do not accidentally mark dangerous inputs as untainted (see CWE-183 and CWE-184).

Mitigation
Implementation

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 [REF-1372], so the python documentation discourages use of ast.literal_eval() on untrusted data [REF-1373].

CAPEC-242: Code Injection

An adversary exploits a weakness in input validation on the target to inject new code into that which is currently executing. This differs from code inclusion in that code inclusion involves the addition or replacement of a reference to a code file, which is subsequently loaded by the target and used as part of the code of some application.

CAPEC-35: Leverage Executable Code in Non-Executable Files

An attack of this type exploits a system's trust in configuration and resource files. When the executable loads the resource (such as an image file or configuration file) the attacker has modified the file to either execute malicious code directly or manipulate the target process (e.g. application server) to execute based on the malicious configuration parameters. Since systems are increasingly interrelated mashing up resources from local and remote sources the possibility of this attack occurring is high.

CAPEC-77: Manipulating User-Controlled Variables

This attack targets user controlled variables (DEBUG=1, PHP Globals, and So Forth). An adversary can override variables leveraging user-supplied, untrusted query variables directly used on the application server without any data sanitization. In extreme cases, the adversary can change variables controlling the business logic of the application. For instance, in languages like PHP, a number of poorly set default configurations may allow the user to override variables.
