Vulnerability Assessment

Weakness
CWE
Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege authenticated session on the PentAGI platform (PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector) - unauthenticated attackers cannot exploit this directly without first obtaining credentials. The vulnerable component is the Docker API client (backend/pkg/docker/client.go), meaning Docker integration must be active in the PentAGI deployment, which is its standard operational mode. The attack is network-accessible (AV:N) with no user interaction required (UI:N) and low complexity (AC:L) once authentication is obtained. Exploitation is bounded to the Docker environment of the vulnerable system: subsequent-system metrics (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) in the CVSS 4.0 vector indicate no host-level breakout is expected. The limiting factors for realistic risk are: requirement for authenticated access, low impact ceiling (all impacts rated Low), and niche product deployment footprint.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 (Medium) accurately characterizes the bounded nature of this flaw. AV:N and AC:L confirm network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation, but PR:L establishes that unauthenticated attackers cannot exploit this directly. All vulnerable-system impact metrics (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) are Low, and subsequent-system metrics (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) are all None, indicating the sandbox break does not extend to the underlying host - this is a meaningful constraint that lowers real-world risk compared to a full container escape. EPSS data is absent from the provided intelligence, and the vulnerability is not in CISA KEV. No POC has been publicly disclosed. The patch is an unmerged GitHub PR (#355), meaning no confirmed released fix version exists despite the 'Available from vendor' indicator - this gap increases residual exposure. Given PentAGI's niche deployment footprint, aggregate organizational risk is low, but any PentAGI deployment should treat this as a genuine sandbox weakening requiring prompt attention once a patched release is available.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated low-privilege PentAGI user submits a crafted request through the platform's Docker API client interface, triggering the improper sandbox boundary handling in backend/pkg/docker/client.go. The attacker gains read access to Docker environment data or resources outside their authorized scope, and may make limited unauthorized modifications within the container environment. No public exploit code exists at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity (AC:L) means exploitation would require minimal technical knowledge once the vulnerable code path is identified.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 06, 2026

Sandbox boundary enforcement failure in PentAGI (vxcontrol) versions up to 2.1.0 allows authenticated remote users to break Docker containment controls via the Docker API client component in backend/pkg/docker/client.go, enabling limited information disclosure and unauthorized low-impact modifications within the Docker environment. The CVSS 4.0 vector (PR:L, AV:N, AC:L) confirms low-privilege network-reachable exploitation with no user interaction required, though all impact metrics remain Low and no host-level breakout is indicated. No public exploit code exists and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV; an upstream fix is pending as an unmerged GitHub pull request.

RemediationAI

No released patched version has been independently confirmed at time of analysis. The upstream fix exists as pull request #355 at https://github.com/vxcontrol/pentagi/pull/355, which was awaiting merge acceptance at the time of disclosure - monitor this PR and the repository release page for a tagged fix version before upgrading. As an immediate compensating control, restrict network access to PentAGI's interface to trusted, authenticated internal users only, reducing the pool of principals who can reach the vulnerable Docker API path. Additionally, apply least-privilege Docker socket scoping within the PentAGI deployment: avoid granting the application broader Docker daemon access than operationally required, as tighter API surface limits the exploitable boundary even without a code fix. Track patch release status via the VulDB advisory at https://vuldb.com/cve/CVE-2026-14784.

Technical ContextAI · show details

PentAGI is an AI agent orchestration platform by vxcontrol that uses Docker to isolate and manage agent workloads. The vulnerability exists in backend/pkg/docker/client.go, the module responsible for interacting with the Docker Engine API. CWE-265 (Privilege Issues) identifies the root cause as inadequate enforcement of sandbox boundaries - the code improperly handles Docker container privilege or isolation constraints, potentially allowing a user to access Docker daemon capabilities or container resources outside their authorized scope. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:vxcontrol:pentagi:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions through 2.1.0. In Docker-based agent orchestration platforms, Docker client code that mishandles privilege delegation can expose container internals, host-mounted volumes, or cross-container data to unauthorized callers.
