{"id":"CVE-2026-79916","published":"2026-09-21T21:17:12.450","lastModified":"2026-09-22T16:17:57.193","description":"MaxKB is an open-source AI assistant for enterprise. Prior to 2.10.5-lts, authenticated workspace members can inject control characters into AWS Bedrock access_key_id and secret_access_key fields that _update_aws_credentials writes to /root/.aws/credentials without safe parsing. An attacker can append a new AWS profile containing credential_process, then select that profile during a later model-validation request so botocore executes an attacker-controlled command as root. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.10.5-lts.","cvssScore":9.1,"cvssSeverity":"CRITICAL","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:L","cwes":["CWE-78"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/1Panel-dev/MaxKB/commit/a1e413d196004421ab0953ee0baa13d4ca0fe3c4","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/1Panel-dev/MaxKB/pull/6418","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/1Panel-dev/MaxKB/releases/tag/v2.10.5-lts","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/1Panel-dev/MaxKB/security/advisories/GHSA-2324-7xjr-9qxg","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/1Panel-dev/MaxKB/commit/a1e413d196004421ab0953ee0baa13d4ca0fe3c4","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/1Panel-dev/MaxKB/pull/6418","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/1Panel-dev/MaxKB/releases/tag/v2.10.5-lts","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/1Panel-dev/MaxKB/security/advisories/GHSA-2324-7xjr-9qxg","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":{"summary":"The flaw allows authenticated users to inject control characters into AWS credentials, enabling command execution as root.","exploitability":"Exploitation requires authentication and knowledge of the affected version; difficult without these.","blast_radius":"Real-world impact is high if exploited, as it allows full system compromise via root command execution.","remediation":"Upgrade to 2.10.5-lts or later.","detection":"No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.","tags":["rce","auth-bypass","aws","root","command-execution"],"model":"qwen2.5:7b-instruct","analyzedAt":"2026-09-28T09:05:38.395Z"}}
