Unauthenticated RCE via unchecked JSON API eval
Published Aug 26, 2026 · Updated Aug 26, 2026
Eval injection in SENAITE.CORE 2.0.0 through 2.6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python through the JSON API. Unchecked write routes resolve attacker-selected objects, and set_fields_from_request passes raw RecordField and RecordsField values to eval() before mutator permission checks. Anonymous access is sufficient on upstream-default deployments, exposing the Zope worker's laboratory data, files, and accounts to read, modification, or service interruption.

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.
