Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: conductor-oss
Product: conductor

Description

Orkes Conductor versions before 3.30.2 contain a critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability. Attackers can submit malicious inline workflow definitions with JavaScript or Python expressions to the workflow API endpoint without authentication. This exploits unsandboxed GraalVM evaluators with permissive host access, enabling arbitrary OS command execution via Java reflection or subprocess calls.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-58138 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Orkes Conductor prior to version 3.30.2. The flaw arises from improper control over code generation, allowing unauthenticated attackers to submit malicious inline workflow definitions containing JavaScript or Python expressions to the workflow API endpoint. These expressions are evaluated by unsandboxed GraalVM evaluators configured with permissive host access, which permits attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands through Java reflection or subprocess calls. This vulnerability enables full system compromise without requiring authentication.

Potential Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can achieve remote code execution on affected Orkes Conductor instances by submitting crafted workflow definitions. This allows arbitrary OS command execution, potentially leading to full system compromise, data theft, or service disruption. The vulnerability is critical with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3, reflecting its high severity and ease of exploitation without any privileges or user interaction.

Mitigation Recommendations

A patch is available for this vulnerability in Orkes Conductor version 3.30.2 and later. Users should upgrade to version 3.30.2 or newer to remediate this issue. Since this is a cloud-hosted service, the vendor typically manages remediation server-side; users should verify with the vendor advisory for confirmation of patch deployment. Until patched, restricting access to the workflow API endpoint and disabling inline workflow definitions may reduce exposure, but upgrading is the recommended mitigation.
