The vulnerability resides within the \u003ccode\u003echeck_solution\u003c/code\u003e function of the \u003ccode\u003eHumanEvalBenchmark/MBPPBenchmark\u003c/code\u003e component. This flaw enables a remote attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code by manipulating input parameters. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed and exploits are readily available. The maintainers of the MetaGPT project were notified via pull request but have not yet addressed the issue, increasing the risk to users of affected versions. Successful exploitation could lead to complete system compromise.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker identifies a vulnerable MetaGPT instance running a version \u0026lt;= 0.8.1.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker crafts a malicious input designed to exploit the \u003ccode\u003echeck_solution\u003c/code\u003e function within the \u003ccode\u003eHumanEvalBenchmark/MBPPBenchmark\u003c/code\u003e component.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker sends the crafted input to the MetaGPT instance, potentially via a network request or other remote interface.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003ccode\u003echeck_solution\u003c/code\u003e function processes the malicious input without proper sanitization.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe lack of input sanitization allows the attacker to inject arbitrary code.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe injected code is then executed within the context of the MetaGPT application.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepending on the privileges of the MetaGPT process, the attacker can gain control of the system or access sensitive data.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker may use this initial access to pivot to other systems within the network, install malware, or exfiltrate data.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of CVE-2026-5970 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on systems running vulnerable versions of FoundationAgents MetaGPT.
