DescriptionCVE.org

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.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated remote code execution in MindsDB Minds Platform (version 26.1.0 and earlier) lets any network-reachable attacker run arbitrary OS commands on the host by chaining two unprotected API endpoints. The attacker first sets a controlled LLM API key via the unauthenticated PUT /api/v1/settings/ endpoint, then submits a crafted prompt to POST /api/v1/responses/ that steers the Anton agent into calling its scratchpad tool, which passes attacker-influenced Python directly into exec() with no sandbox. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Reach unauthenticated app API over network
Delivery
PUT /api/v1/settings/ to set attacker LLM key
Exploit
POST /api/v1/responses/ with crafted prompt
Execution
Anton scratchpad passes Python to exec()
Persist
Run OS commands as app user
Impact
Exfiltrate SSH keys and stored secrets

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reachability to the MindsDB Minds Platform desktop application's HTTP API and that the two endpoints be exposed as shipped: the unauthenticated PUT /api/v1/settings/ endpoint (used to set an attacker-controlled LLM API key) and the unauthenticated POST /api/v1/responses/ endpoint (used to deliver the malicious prompt), with the Anton agent's scratchpad tool reachable and its exec() path unsandboxed - all of which are default behavior in version 26.1.0 and earlier. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine top-priority issue, not a high-CVSS-but-low-risk paper cut. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who can reach the desktop app's API (for example on a shared workstation, an exposed LAN interface, or a host where the port is bound beyond loopback) sends an unauthenticated PUT /api/v1/settings/ request to install their own LLM API key, then sends a single POST /api/v1/responses/ prompt instructing the Anton agent to run attacker-supplied Python via its scratchpad tool. Because exec() runs unsandboxed as the user running the application, the payload immediately executes OS commands to read SSH keys, stored credentials, and environment secrets. …
Remediation Upgrade to a fixed release of MindsDB Minds Platform as identified in the vendor advisory GHSA-jcxw-h8ph-pxpv; the input data does not include an exact fixed version number, so the specific patched build must be confirmed from that advisory and no version is invented here. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify and inventory all systems running MindsDB Minds Platform version 26.1.0 or earlier; immediately isolate these systems from untrusted networks and implement network segmentation to restrict access to the vulnerable /api/v1/settings/ and /api/v1/responses/ endpoints to only trusted internal systems. …
