Authenticated Python execution via unsandboxed exec
Published Aug 28, 2026 · Updated Aug 28, 2026
Code injection in DataElem BISHENG before 2.6.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary Python via workflow run_once. The endpoint accepts an inline Code node from the request body, checks only that the workflow exists, and passes compiled attacker code to exec() without a sandbox. Any regular account and a valid workflow ID suffice to run with backend-process privileges, exposing server files, credentials, and internal network access.

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?
