Authenticated code execution via eval on form data
Published Aug 17, 2026 · Updated Aug 18, 2026
Code injection in the /create_project endpoint in UpTrain 0.7.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code. The handler in uptrain/dashboard/backend/app.py passes the untrusted checks[0] form field and metadata string directly to Python eval(), so attacker-supplied expressions run in the server process instead of being parsed as data. Exploitation requires access to a valid UpTrain authentication method, and successful execution runs with the privileges of the UpTrain host process, typically the self-hosted Docker container described by the project.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=<= 0.7.1
