CVE-2026-18593Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote code execution via target-served binaries

Published Aug 3, 2026 · Updated Aug 3, 2026

Improper sandboxing in VXControl PentAGI 2.0 and 2.1.0 allows remote attackers to execute code through target-served binaries. The pentester prompt restricts package-manager use but lets the agent follow target-supplied instructions to download, mark executable, and run an untrusted binary. Reachability requires PentAGI to test attacker-controlled content; host escape additionally depends on the default Docker-socket mount, which grants sandbox code control of the Docker daemon.
