CVE-2026-79916

CriticalCVSS 9.1
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

MaxKB is an open-source AI assistant for enterprise. Prior to 2.10.5-lts, authenticated workspace members can inject control characters into AWS Bedrock access_key_id and secret_access_key fields that _update_aws_credentials writes to /root/.aws/credentials without safe parsing. An attacker can append a new AWS profile containing credential_process, then select that profile during a later model-validation request so botocore executes an attacker-controlled command as root.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with workspace member privileges can achieve arbitrary command execution as root on the server, resulting in full host compromise and access to all data and secrets. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.10.5-lts.

Recommendation

Upgrade MaxKB to version 2.10.5-lts or later. Limit the number of trusted workspace members and inspect /root/.aws/credentials for unauthorized profiles.
