CVE-2026-123020eosphoros-ai DB-GPT template injection
CVE-2026-123020 is a template injection in eosphoros-ai DB-GPT, rated low (2.1 on CVSS 4.0).
Why this priority: Low severity, with no exploitation signal.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Deferred
What it is
Input is rendered as part of a server-side template and can run code.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, but someone has to act first, such as opening a file or following a link.
What an attacker gains
The direct impact is limited: partial access to data or a partial outage. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker run commands or code with the privileges of the affected service.
Is it being exploited?
CISA's SSVC assessment notes a public proof of concept. EPSS estimates a 0.50% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 43% of scored CVEs.
What to do
- Upgrade eosphoros-ai DB-GPT to 0.8.2 or later.
- Until it is patched, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.
- Warn the people who use it, and filter files and links on the way in.
Description from NVD
A security vulnerability has been detected in eosphoros-ai DB-GPT up to 0.8.1. The affected element is the function FileBasedSkill.get_prompt of the file packages/dbgpt-core/src/dbgpt/agent/skill/claude_skill/__init__.py of the component Jinja2 Template Handler. The manipulation leads to improper neutralization of special elements used in a template engine. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Upgrading to version 0.8.2 is sufficient to fix this issue. The identifier of the patch is a9e7a3c026d114fcfb4ffe3eaf78851a636ded16. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Application servers and the hosts they run on. The flaw sits between untrusted input and code or command execution.
- Template engines. The flaw sits between untrusted input and code or command execution.
Trust boundaries in play
- Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
- People who open files and links. Mail, chat and browsers are the delivery path.
- Between untrusted input and code or command execution. An attacker who crosses it can run commands or code with the privileges of the affected service.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does eosphoros-ai DB-GPT run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
