CVE-2026-11455: Command Injection in FoundationAgents MetaGPT
A vulnerability was determined in FoundationAgents MetaGPT up to 0.8.2. Affected by this issue is the function check_cmd_exists of the file metagpt/utils/common.py. This manipulation of the argument mermaid.path causes command injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. A high degree of complexity is needed for the attack. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects the check_cmd_exists function in FoundationAgents MetaGPT up to version 0.8.2. It allows an attacker to perform command injection by manipulating the mermaid.path argument. Although the attack vector is remote, exploitation is complex and difficult. The vulnerability was reported early to the project but remains unaddressed, and no official fix or remediation guidance is available. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 2.3, indicating low severity.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker with limited privileges to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system remotely. However, the complexity and difficulty of exploitation reduce the likelihood of successful attacks. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since the vendor has not responded or released a fix, users should monitor official channels for updates. Until a patch is available, avoid exposing vulnerable versions to untrusted networks and consider restricting access to affected components.
