Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker requires privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable system allowing full access to the vulnerable system’s settings and files.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 27 Mar 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: evidence found.
CVSS exploit maturity: proof of concept public
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CVSS vector, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 29 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2026-4957, organizations should immediately restrict access to log files generated by OpenBMB XAgent to trusted administrators only, employing strict file permissions and monitoring for unauthorized access attempts. Implement log management solutions that can redact or exclude sensitive information such as API keys from logs. Until an official patch is released, consider deploying network-level controls such as firewalls or intrusion detection systems to limit exposure of the vulnerable service to untrusted networks. Review and rotate all API keys that may have been exposed in logs to invalidate compromised credentials. If feasible, upgrade to a non-vulnerable version of OpenBMB XAgent or apply custom patches that remove sensitive data logging. Additionally, conduct regular audits of logging configurations and sensitive data handling practices to prevent similar issues. Establish incident response plans to quickly address any detected compromise related to this vulnerability. Engage with the vendor for updates and monitor security advisories for patches or further guidance.

Description

A flaw has been found in OpenBMB XAgent 1.0.0. The impacted element is the function FunctionHandler.handle_tool_call of the file XAgent/function_handler.py of the component API Key Handler. This manipulation of the argument api_key causes sensitive information in log files. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2026-4957 is the potential unauthorized disclosure of sensitive API keys through log files. If attackers gain access to these logs, they can retrieve API keys and use them to impersonate legitimate users or services, potentially leading to unauthorized access to critical systems or data. This can result in data breaches, privilege escalation, or lateral movement within an organization's network. Since the vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, it increases the attack surface for external adversaries. Organizations relying on OpenBMB XAgent 1.0.0 may face increased risk of credential compromise, especially if log files are not adequately protected. Although the vulnerability does not directly affect system integrity or availability, the confidentiality breach can have cascading effects, including regulatory compliance violations and reputational damage. The absence of a vendor patch prolongs exposure, making timely mitigation critical. Overall, the impact is moderate but significant for organizations that use this software in sensitive environments.
