EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2026-69098. PoCs published by 0xdak.

AI-analyzed exploit summary Exploits an unauthenticated insecure deserialization vulnerability in kotaemon (<= 0.12.0) via a crafted YAML spec with a `__type__` key that imports `subprocess.check_output` during deserialization, leading to remote command execution as root. The exploit leverages Gradio API calls to deliver the payload without requiring authentication or a valid LLM model.

kotaemon through 0.12.0 contains an insecure deserialization vulnerability in the check_connection endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to instantiate arbitrary Python classes by supplying crafted YAML/JSON input with a __type__ field. Attackers can exploit this to override the __type__ field with subprocess.check_output and arbitrary arguments, achieving remote code execution with application process privileges.
