Network-reachable server with no authentication or user interaction and low-complexity sandbox escape gives AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N; arbitrary code as the server process yields full C:H/I:H/A:H, scope unchanged.

CRITICAL 9.3

DescriptionCVE.org

ToolUniverse ran caller-supplied Python inside a sandbox that could be escaped, on a server that required no authentication. The executor behind the python_code_executor tool, in python_executor_tool.py, inspected the submitted source for a denied list of attribute names and calls but left the attribute-lookup builtins available and did not stop a dunder attribute reached through a string lookup or through a module already permitted, so a caller could walk from a literal's class to its base and enumerate subclasses to obtain a reference to the process and subprocess modules. A per-call argument also let the caller widen the import allow-list before the inspection ran. The HTTP and MCP servers in http_api_server.py and smcp_server.py bound to every interface with debugging enabled and no authentication, so any caller able to reach the port executed code as the server process. Version 1.3.0 adds bearer-token authentication, defaults the bind address to loopback, and hardens the attribute checks.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated remote code execution affects mims-harvard ToolUniverse through 1.2.6, where the python_code_executor tool runs caller-supplied Python in a sandbox that can be escaped and the HTTP/MCP servers listen on all interfaces with no authentication. Any attacker who can reach the exposed port executes arbitrary code as the server process, since the deny-list source inspection can be bypassed via dunder attribute traversal and a per-call flag that widens the import allow-list. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reachability to the ToolUniverse HTTP API (http_api_server.py) or SMCP/MCP server (smcp_server.py) with the python_code_executor tool available. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine top-priority issue, not an inflated CVSS number. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker scans for ToolUniverse HTTP/MCP ports exposed on 0.0.0.0 and, without any credentials, submits a python_code_executor request whose source uses ().__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() to reach subprocess and run OS commands. Because AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N applies, a single crafted request to the open port yields code execution as the server process; no public exploit code is identified, but the escape technique is described in the VulnCheck advisory.
Remediation Upgrade to ToolUniverse 1.3.0, which adds bearer-token authentication, defaults the bind address to loopback (127.0.0.1), and hardens the attribute checks in the executor (Vendor-released patch: 1.3.0; see GHSA-pxwq-22vf-87fm and PR 251). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: identify and inventory all mims-harvard ToolUniverse instances and immediately restrict network access to trusted internal networks or block external access to prevent exploitation. …
