6DescriptionGitHub Advisory
MaxKB is an open-source AI assistant for enterprise. In versions 2.7.1 and below, an authenticated user can bypass sandbox result validation and spoof tool execution results by exploiting Python frame introspection to read the wrapper's UUID from its bytecode constants, then writing a forged result directly to file descriptor 1 (bypassing stdout redirection). By calling sys.exit(0), the attacker terminates the wrapper before it prints the legitimate output, causing the MaxKB service to parse and trust the spoofed response as the genuine tool result. This issue has been fixed in version 2.8.0.
AnalysisAI
MaxKB versions 2.7.1 and below allow authenticated users to spoof tool execution results by exploiting Python frame introspection to extract the wrapper's UUID from bytecode, then writing forged output directly to file descriptor 1 to bypass stdout redirection and terminate the wrapper process before legitimate output is generated, causing the service to trust the attacker-controlled response. This integrity bypass requires prior authentication and local/network access but enables attackers to manipulate AI tool results without detection. The vulnerability has been patched in version 2.8.0.
Technical ContextAI
MaxKB implements a sandbox execution wrapper for AI-generated tool calls that redirects and validates tool outputs. The vulnerability exploits Python's introspection capabilities-specifically the ability to access bytecode constants via the sys._getframe() API-to read the unique identifier embedded in the wrapper's compiled code. By writing directly to file descriptor 1 (the underlying file object before Python's stdout redirection layer), an authenticated attacker bypasses output validation mechanisms. The attacker then calls sys.exit(0) to terminate the wrapper process immediately, preventing the legitimate tool output from being captured and parsed. This leaves only the forged result in the validation pipeline, which MaxKB trusts as genuine. The root cause is insufficient isolation between the wrapper process and untrusted code execution, combined with reliance on stdout redirection rather than cryptographic result attestation. CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component) categorizes this as a validation bypass in a data pipeline.
RemediationAI
Upgrade MaxKB to version 2.8.0 or later immediately. The fix has been released and is available via the official GitHub releases page (https://github.com/1Panel-dev/MaxKB/releases/tag/v2.8.0). The patch commit 38c4cfecd065293ede0437f6fa76cf0116591d25 hardens the wrapper's result validation to prevent frame introspection and file descriptor manipulation. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict authenticated user access to tool definition creation and monitor LLM prompt injection attempts, though this is not a substitute for patching. Review audit logs for suspicious tool result patterns (e.g., execution results appearing before tool invocation timestamps) as a temporary detection measure.
