The flaw exists within the Anton agent's scratchpad tool, which fails to sandbox Python code before execution via the exec() function. An unauthenticated attacker can leverage this by first modifying the application settings to use an attacker-controlled LLM API key via the PUT /api/v1/settings/ endpoint. Following this, the attacker sends a crafted prompt to the POST /api/v1/responses/ endpoint. This prompt forces the Anton agent to use the scratchpad tool to run arbitrary Python code. Because the application process lacks sandboxing, the attacker achieves OS command execution with the privileges of the user running the MindsDB application. This vulnerability allows for full system compromise, including the exfiltration of sensitive files such as SSH keys, stored credentials, and local environment secrets.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker identifies an internet-facing MindsDB Minds Platform instance version 26.1.0 or earlier.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker sends an unauthenticated PUT request to /api/v1/settings/ to inject a custom LLM API key.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker sends an unauthenticated POST request to /api/v1/responses/ containing a prompt designed to trigger the Anton agent.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Anton agent processes the prompt and invokes the vulnerable scratchpad tool.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe scratchpad tool executes the attacker-provided Python code using the insecure exec() call.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArbitrary OS commands are executed in the context of the user running the MindsDB application.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker performs post-exploitation activities, including credential harvesting and environment secret access.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation results in full remote code execution on the host running the MindsDB Minds Platform.
