An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-5970 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- metagpt (PyPI): affected all versions up to 0.8.1; no fix listed\n- metagpt (PyPI): affected all versions up to 0.8.1; no fix listed\n- metagpt (PyPI): affected all versions up to 0.8.1; no fix listed\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5970/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5970/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-5970","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5970/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-5970","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g977-h85w-h2xj","PYSEC-2026-2640"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MetaGPT library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via the check_solution function in MetaGPT benchmarks, requiring immediate attention from users of this library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulDB","cpe":[{"product":"metagpt","vendor":"deepwisdom"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"},{"id":"CWE-74","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component"}],"description":"A vulnerability was detected in FoundationAgents MetaGPT up to 0.8.1.
