CVE-2026-2008Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote command execution via bypassable Python eval

Published Feb 6, 2026 · Updated Feb 6, 2026

Code injection in abhiphile fermat-mcp 47f11def1cd37e45dd060f30cdce346cbdbd6f0a allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands. The eqn_chart function in fmcp/mpl_mcp/core/eqn_chart.py passes attacker-controlled equations values to Python eval with restricted globals that import can bypass to call os.system. Access to the MCP tool is required; commands run with the server process's privileges, while sandboxing confines their reach.
