CVE-2026-55585Public exploitNetwork attack vectorHinoki check available

Authenticated code execution via unrestricted SymPy parsing

Published Aug 25, 2026 · Updated Aug 28, 2026

Code injection in QWED AI QWED Verification before 5.1.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute Python code through math requests. The math and batch handlers pass caller-controlled expressions to SymPy parse_expr without restricted global or local namespaces, exposing Python built-ins through eval. Default self-registration supplies the required tenant API key; successful exploitation grants the server process's file, command, data, and service privileges.
