VulnerabilityCVE-2026-42076cvecve-2026-42076cwe-78
Published: Mon May 04 2026 (05/04/2026, 16:48:51 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: EvoMap
Product: evolver

Description

Evolver is a GEP-powered self-evolving engine for AI agents. Prior to version 1.69.3, a command injection vulnerability in the _extractLLM() function allows attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands on the server. The function constructs a curl command using string concatenation and passes it to execSync() without proper sanitization, enabling remote code execution when the corpus parameter contains shell metacharacters. This issue has been patched in version 1.69.3.

Technical Analysis

EvoMap evolver versions before 1.69.3 contain an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in the _extractLLM() function. The function builds a shell command string using the corpus parameter without proper sanitization and executes it with execSync(), enabling remote code execution. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to run arbitrary commands on the server hosting evolver. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.69.3.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the server, potentially leading to full system compromise. The CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8 reflects critical impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade EvoMap evolver to version 1.69.3 or later, where this vulnerability is patched. Since the vendor has released a fixed version, applying this official update is the recommended remediation. No other mitigation guidance is provided or required.
