MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires authenticated low-privileged access to the Pigeon MFA service within an on-premises EagleCloud Aquila deployment running version 2.6.7.2 or earlier; the flaw is a code-injection (CWE-94) weakness in that specific service. The limiting factors are: valid credentials are needed (PR:L, so not anonymous/unauthenticated), the deployment must be the on-premises platform variant, and the version must be at or below 2.6.7.2. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and the service is reachable over the network (AV:N), so once an attacker holds any valid account the barrier to code execution is low. The precise injection trigger (which input field or feature) is not described in the available sources. |
| Impact | This is a genuine high-priority issue, and the available signals are internally consistent rather than conflicting. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) describes low-complexity, network-reachable exploitation requiring only low-level authentication and no user interaction, with HIGH impact to confidentiality, integrity and availability on both the vulnerable system (VC/VI/VA:H) and subsequent systems (SC/SI/SA:H), yielding a 9.4 critical score. The vuln.today decision label is act_now, and the finding was reported by Mandiant, a credible source, which raises confidence in the underlying technical claim. However, several exploitation signals are absent and must not be inflated: there is no CISA KEV listing, so this is NOT confirmed actively exploited; no EPSS score was supplied, so statistical exploitation probability cannot be quantified; and the sole reference is a Mandiant vulnerability-disclosure advisory, not verified working exploit code. The one limiting factor is the PR:L authentication requirement - an attacker needs valid low-privileged credentials to the Pigeon MFA service, which narrows the threat to insiders, credential-phishing outcomes, or chained access rather than pure anonymous internet exploitation. Net: treat as urgent per the act_now label, but recognize exploitation is authenticated and not yet confirmed in-the-wild. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds low-privileged credentials to an on-premises EagleCloud Aquila deployment (version 2.6.7.2 or earlier) sends crafted input to the Pigeon MFA service that is improperly incorporated into generated code (CWE-94), achieving arbitrary code execution. Because the CVSS vector indicates network vector and low complexity with no user interaction, the request can be delivered remotely and reliably once authenticated. No public, verified exploit code is identified at time of analysis, though Mandiant has published a disclosure advisory. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
Remote code execution in EagleCloud Aquila on-premises deployments through 2.6.7.2 allows authenticated low-privileged attackers to inject and execute arbitrary code through the Pigeon MFA service. The flaw is rated CVSS 9.4 and assessed as network-reachable with no user interaction, so a valid low-privileged account is the main prerequisite. No CISA KEV entry or public exploit code was identified at time of analysis; the vuln.today decision label is act_now given the high impact and limited authentication requirement.
RemediationAI
The supplied data does not list a fixed version, and no vendor-released patch can be confirmed at time of analysis; monitor the Mandiant disclosure at https://github.com/mandiant/Vulnerability-Disclosures/blob/master/2026/MNDT-2026-0039.md for an updated vendor fix. Until a patched release is confirmed, restrict network reachability to the Pigeon MFA service to trusted management networks or VPN (side effect: legitimate remote MFA service access is narrowed), reduce and review accounts that can reach the service by removing unnecessary low-privileged accounts (side effect: administrative overhead and possible disruption for legitimate users), and if isolation is not feasible consider temporarily disabling Pigeon MFA (side effect: loss of MFA functionality and possible fallback authentication risk).

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is CWE-94 improper control of generation of code (code injection) in the Pigeon MFA service of EagleCloud Aquila on-premises. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:eaglecloud:aquila:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies Aquila, and the disclosure bounds affected on-premises versions through 2.6.7.2. The assessed vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H confirms network reachability, low privileges required, no user interaction, scope change, and high confidentiality/integrity/availability impact; the precise injection point or feature that accepts attacker-controlled code is not described in the available sources.

DescriptionCVE.org
Improper Control of Generation of Code in Pigeon MFA service in EagleCloud Aquila versions through 2.6.7.2 on on-premises platforms allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via code injection
Executive ViewAI
EagleCloud Aquila on-premises deployments up to version 2.6.7.2 contain a critical remote code execution vulnerability in the Pigeon MFA service. Any authenticated user with even minimal privileges can exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to full system compromise and unauthorized access to sensitive data. Leadership should prioritize immediate remediation because the low barrier to entry and network accessibility significantly elevate the risk of insider threat or credential misuse.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include restricting network access to the Pigeon MFA service, enforcing least privilege for authenticated users, deploying web application firewall rules to detect and block exploit attempts, and monitoring for suspicious code execution or authentication anomalies.

Priority Score
Attack Technique
Code injection occurs when an application accepts user input and passes it directly into a language interpreter or evaluator without proper sanitization.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
