CVE-2025-13428·Python vulnerability

A vulnerability exists in the SecOps SOAR server. The custom integrations feature allowed an authenticated user with an "IDE role" to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) in the server. The flaw stemmed from weak validation of uploaded Python package code. An attacker could upload a package containing a malicious setup.py file, which would execute on the server during the installation process, leading to potential server compromise. No customer action is required. All customers have been automatically upgraded to the fixed version: 6.3.64 or higher.

How to fix this CVE

Upgrade SecOps SOAR server to version 6.3.64 or higher to patch the Python package upload validation flaw. All customers have been automatically upgraded, but verify your deployment is running the fixed version. Ensure no untrusted Python packages with malicious setup.py files were uploaded to your custom integrations before the patch was applied.

sudo dnf update python3

Defensia detects this vulnerability

What an exploitation attempt looks like

Sample log line indicative of exploitation attempts:

POST /api/integrations/upload with multipart/form-data containing setup.py or __init__.py executing system commands; log pattern: `setup.py.*subprocess|os.system|exec\(` in integration package installation logs

WAF mitigation (if patching is not yet possible)

Add this rule to your WAF to block exploitation attempts while you schedule the patch. 

Block or sanitize POST requests to `/api/integrations/upload` endpoints that contain Python setup.py or __init__.py files with shell metacharacters (|, ;, &, $, backticks). Require IDE role authentication with IP whitelisting and rate-limiting on integration uploads.

How to check if you are affected

  1. Step 1: Check the SecOps SOAR server version by running `curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/version | grep version` or accessing the admin dashboard
  2. Step 2: Verify Python version with `python3 --version` to confirm the base runtime is up-to-date
  3. Step 3: Review the custom integrations audit log for any Python packages installed between your deployment date and the upgrade; check `/var/log/secops/integrations.log` for setup.py execution events
  4. Step 4: Confirm the SOAR server is running 6.3.64+ by checking the version file: `cat /opt/secops/version.txt`

FAQ

What is CVE-2025-13428?

CVE-2025-13428 is a remote code execution vulnerability in SecOps SOAR's custom integrations feature that allowed authenticated users with IDE roles to execute arbitrary Python code on the server by uploading malicious setup.py files within Python packages due to insufficient validation.

Is CVE-2025-13428 being actively exploited?

No, CVE-2025-13428 is not listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog and no public exploits are currently available.

What versions of Python are affected by CVE-2025-13428?

The vulnerability affects SecOps SOAR versions prior to 6.3.64, which use Python for package integration processing. All versions up to 6.3.63 are vulnerable.

How do I check if my server is vulnerable to CVE-2025-13428?

Run `curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/version` and verify the version is 6.3.64 or higher. If the version is below 6.3.64, your deployment requires immediate patching.

Does Defensia detect CVE-2025-13428?

Yes — Defensia's CVE advisory scanner compares installed package versions against the NVD database. If SecOps SOAR with Python integrations is running on a monitored server, CVE-2025-13428 will appear in your dashboard with remediation steps.

CVE-2026-34938CVSS 10PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to version 1.5.90, execute_code() in praisonai-agents runs attacker-controlled Python inside a three-layer sandbox that can be fully bypassed by passing a str subclass with an overridden startswith() method to the _safe_getattr wrapper, achieving arbitrary OS command execution on the host. This issue has been patched in version 1.5.90.
CVE-2026-33054CVSS 10Mesop is a Python-based UI framework that allows users to build web applications. Versions 1.2.2 and below contain a Path Traversal vulnerability that allows any user supplying an untrusted state_token through the UI stream payload to arbitrarily target files on the disk under the standard file-based runtime backend. This can result in application denial of service (via crash loops when reading non-msgpack target files as configurations), or arbitrary file manipulation. This vulnerability heavily exposes systems hosted utilizing FileStateSessionBackend. Unauthorized malicious actors could interact with arbitrary payloads overwriting or explicitly removing underlying service resources natively outside the application bounds. This issue has been fixed in version 1.2.3.
CVE-2026-28505CVSS 10Tautulli is a Python based monitoring and tracking tool for Plex Media Server. Prior to version 2.17.0, the str_eval() function in notification_handler.py implements a sandboxed eval() for notification text templates. The sandbox attempts to restrict callable names by inspecting code.co_names of the compiled code object. However, co_names only contains names from the outer code object. When a lambda expression is used, it creates a nested code object whose attribute accesses are stored in code.co_consts, NOT in code.co_names. The sandbox never inspects nested code objects. This issue has been patched in version 2.17.0.
CVE-2026-25632CVSS 10EPyT-Flow is a Python package designed for the easy generation of hydraulic and water quality scenario data of water distribution networks. Prior to 0.16.1, EPyT-Flow’s REST API parses attacker-controlled JSON request bodies using a custom deserializer (my_load_from_json) that supports a type field. When type is present, the deserializer dynamically imports an attacker-specified module/class and instantiates it with attacker-supplied arguments. This allows invoking dangerous classes such as subprocess.Popen, which can lead to OS command execution during JSON parsing. This also affects the loading of JSON files. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.16.1.
CVE-2025-68668CVSS 9.9n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. From version 1.0.0 to before 2.0.0, a sandbox bypass vulnerability exists in the Python Code Node that uses Pyodide. An authenticated user with permission to create or modify workflows can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the host system running n8n, using the same privileges as the n8n process. This issue has been patched in version 2.0.0. Workarounds for this issue involve disabling the Code Node by setting the environment variable NODES_EXCLUDE: "[\"n8n-nodes-base.code\"]", disabling Python support in the Code node by setting the environment variable N8N_PYTHON_ENABLED=false, which was introduced in n8n version 1.104.0, and configuring n8n to use the task runner based Python sandbox via the N8N_RUNNERS_ENABLED and N8N_NATIVE_PYTHON_RUNNER environment variables.
