CriticalCVSS 10.0

Published: 14/08/2026(UTC)Translated: 15/08/2026(UTC)NVD NIST

Summary

MindsDB Minds Platform version 26.1.0 and earlier contains an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker can submit crafted prompts to the POST /api/v1/responses/ endpoint, which reaches the Anton agent's scratchpad tool that calls exec() on Python code without sandboxing.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands, gaining access to SSH keys, credentials, and environment secrets, leading to full system compromise.

Recommendation

Update MindsDB to a version newer than 26.1.0 that includes the fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

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.
