Network-reachable web app, low complexity, but requires an authenticated account to import/reference the tool (PR:L); stdio command execution yields full host C/I/A impact.

MaxKB is an open-source AI assistant for enterprise. Prior to 2.10.0-lts, MaxKB tool import functionality in apps/tools/serializers/tool.py and MCP referencing mode in apps/application/chat_pipeline/step/chat_step/impl/base_chat_step.py do not consistently validate MCP transport type, allowing an authenticated user to import a .tool file containing stdio transport with malicious commands and trigger the configuration through an AI Chat node so MultiServerMCPClient executes arbitrary system commands. This issue is fixed in version 2.10.0-lts.
AnalysisAI
OS command injection in MaxKB (1Panel-dev's open-source enterprise AI assistant) before 2.10.0-lts lets an authenticated user achieve arbitrary command execution on the host by importing a crafted .tool file that declares an MCP stdio transport and triggering it through an AI Chat node. Because the tool-import path (apps/tools/serializers/tool.py) and the MCP referencing path (base_chat_step.py) fail to consistently validate the MCP transport type, the MultiServerMCPClient spawns the attacker's stdio command locally. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires an authenticated MaxKB account (PR:L) with permission to import a .tool file and to create/edit an application flow that references it via the MCP referencing mode. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H = 8.8) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring only low-privileged authentication and no user interaction, with full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact - consistent with arbitrary command execution. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who holds (or registers) a low-privileged MaxKB account crafts a .tool file whose MCP configuration specifies a stdio transport with a malicious command (e.g., a reverse shell), imports it, and wires it into an AI Chat node. When the node executes, MultiServerMCPClient launches the stdio subprocess on the MaxKB host, giving the attacker arbitrary command execution as the service account. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade to MaxKB 2.10.0-lts, which enforces MCP transport-type validation (see GHSA-4pr3-9xhm-98x5 and the release notes at https://github.com/1Panel-dev/MaxKB/releases/tag/v2.10.0-lts). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
