MaxKB is an open-source AI assistant for enterprise. In versions 2.7.1 and below, the chat export feature is vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File. When an administrator exports the application chat history to an Excel file (.xlsx) via the /admin/api/workspace/{workspace_id}/application/{application_id}/chat/export endpoint, strings starting with formula characters are written directly without proper sanitization. Opening this file in spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel can lead to Arbitrary Code Execution (RCE) on the administrator's workstation via Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE). The issue is a variant of CVE-2025-4546, which fixed the exact same pattern in apps/dataset/serializers/document_serializers.py but missed the application chat export sink. This issue has been fixed in version 2.8.0.
AnalysisAI
MaxKB versions 2.7.1 and below allow authenticated administrators to trigger arbitrary code execution on their own workstations through improper CSV formula sanitization in the chat export feature. When exporting chat history to Excel via the /admin/api/workspace/{workspace_id}/application/{application_id}/chat/export endpoint, formula strings (e.g., =cmd|'/c calc'!A1) are written unsanitized to the .xlsx file, enabling Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) exploitation when the file is opened in Microsoft Excel. …
