Network-exploitable with low complexity by any authenticated low-privilege user (PR:L); full C/I/A reflects arbitrary code execution; scope unchanged given container-contained impact.

Lifecycle Timeline

UpTrain is an open-source platform to evaluate and improve generative AI applications. In version 0.7.1 and prior, the /create_project endpoint is vulnerable to remote code execution via the checks and metadata parameters. Any user that has access to UpTrain and a valid authentication method may be able to execute arbitrary code in the context of the host running UpTrain, which in most cases will be the docker container as suggested by the documentation. As of time of publication, no known patch is available.

AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in UpTrain v0.7.1 and prior is achievable by any authenticated user through the /create_project API endpoint, where the checks and metadata parameters are processed without adequate sanitization, allowing arbitrary code to run in the context of the host process. Discovered and reported by GitHub Security Lab (GHSL-2024-198/GHSL-2024-199), the flaw targets the dashboard backend (app.py:L691) and is most commonly exploited within Docker-based deployments as recommended by official documentation. No vendor patch exists as of publication, and a proof-of-concept is confirmed by the CVSS 4.0 E:P modifier, elevating real-world urgency despite the authentication prerequisite.
Technical ContextAI
UpTrain is an open-source Python-based platform for evaluating and improving generative AI applications, deployed primarily via Docker. The vulnerable component is the dashboard backend API at uptrain/dashboard/backend/app.py, specifically the /create_project endpoint around line 691. The root cause is CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component - Injection), which in Python backends typically manifests as user-supplied data passed unsanitized to dynamic execution primitives such as eval(), exec(), or pickle.loads(). The checks and metadata parameters represent structured input fields that the backend processes programmatically, and the lack of input validation allows an attacker to inject executable constructs. No CPE string was provided in the available intelligence, but the affected product is clearly scoped to the UpTrain dashboard backend at version 0.7.1 and below.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis - monitor the GitHub advisory at https://securitylab.github.com/advisories/GHSL-2024-198_GHSL-2024-199_Uptrain/ and the upstream repository for a fix release. As an immediate compensating control, restrict network access to the UpTrain dashboard to trusted internal networks or VPN-only segments, preventing untrusted users from reaching the /create_project endpoint entirely; the trade-off is reduced accessibility for remote teams. If project creation is not actively required, consider disabling or blocking the /create_project route at the reverse proxy or API gateway layer. Review and tighten Docker container configuration: remove privileged mode, restrict host volume mounts, and apply seccomp/AppArmor profiles to limit syscall exposure in the event of exploitation. Enforce strict access control on UpTrain credentials to ensure only trusted personnel hold valid authentication, reducing the pool of potential threat actors.
