Description
UpTrain is an open-source platform to evaluate and improve generative AI applications. In version 0.7.1 and prior, the `/new_run` endpoint is vulnerable to remote code execution via the `checks` and `metadata` parameters. Any user that has access to UpTrain and a valid authentication method may be able to execute arbitrary code in the context of the host running UpTrain, which in most cases will be the docker container as suggested by the documentation. As of time of publication, no known patch is available.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an injection flaw that allows an authenticated user to execute arbitrary code on the host that runs the UpTrain service, typically the Docker container as used by the software. The exploit uses the public /new_run endpoint in UpTrain 0.7.1 and earlier, where unchecked checks and metadata parameters are evaluated. Successful exploitation would give the attacker full control over the container, potentially compromising the underlying host and any shared resources, severely affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Affected Systems

UpTrain version 0.7.1 and earlier, released by uptrain-ai under the repository uptrain. No other versions or vendors are listed as affected in the official CNA data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.4 indicates a high severity and the vulnerability is exploitable remotely. The EPSS score is not available, so the current exploitation probability cannot be quantified, but the lack of a patched version and documented exploitation path increases concern. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker with a valid authentication token can trigger the exploit by sending a crafted payload to the /new_run endpoint. In the absence of a patch, the attack requires only authorized access to the UpTrain instance.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Restrict or disable the /new_run endpoint or require higher‑level authentication before allowing use of the checks and metadata parameters.
  • Apply strict input validation or sanitization to the checks and metadata parameters to neutralize injected code before execution.
  • Run UpTrain inside a hardened container or isolated environment, ensuring that the container has tight network, filesystem, and privilege restrictions to limit the impact of a raised‑privilege exploit.
