Unauthenticated RCE in Mesop AI testing /exec-py endpoint

IdentifiersCVE-2026-33057CWE-94· Improper Control of Generation of…

CVE-2026-33057 is an unrestricted remote code execution vulnerability in Mesop, a Python-based UI framework for building web applications. It affects Mesop 1.2.2 and earlier. The flaw is in the AI testing/debug infrastructure, specifically a lightweight Flask server in ai/sandbox/wsgi_app.py that exposes the /exec-py route. That endpoint accepts base64-encoded Python source via the code POST parameter, writes the supplied content to disk, and executes it through execute_module(module_path...). Because the endpoint ingests and evaluates untrusted Python code without authentication or other access controls, any reachable attacker can cause arbitrary Python code to run on the host system.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation yields full remote code execution on the host running the vulnerable Mesop component. Given the supplied CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), the impact is high across confidentiality, integrity, and availability: an attacker can execute arbitrary commands, access or exfiltrate sensitive data available to the process, modify application or system state, deploy additional payloads, and disrupt service operation.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate upgrade is not possible, prevent network access to the vulnerable Flask debugging/testing server and specifically block the /exec-py route. Disable or remove the AI testing/debug infrastructure from production deployments, restrict access to trusted administrators only, bind the service to localhost where feasible, and place it behind network ACLs, reverse-proxy allowlists, or firewall rules. Monitor for POST requests to /exec-py and for unexpected creation/execution of Python modules on the host.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Mesop to version 1.2.3 or later, which fixes the vulnerable behavior. If change control requires validation, review the vendor patch associated with commit 825f55970c20686de3f28e2c66df4d74e9d4db47 and the GitHub advisory GHSA-gjgx-rvqr-6w6v. Ensure any deployments do not expose the vulnerable AI testing/debug endpoint in production.
