Summary
Omnigent: Shared Agent Bundle Overwrite Leads to Authenticated Runner RCE
An authenticated user with edit access to their own session can overwrite a shared/template agent by uploading a full agent bundle through PUT /sessions/{session_id}/agent.
Shared/template agents are shown as not MCP-editable, but this upload path still accepts a replacement bundle. By adding a stdio MCP server to the shared agent, the attacker can cause future runner sessions using that shared agent to start an attacker-controlled command.
Details
The vulnerable endpoint is the full agent bundle upload route: PUT /sessions/{session_id}/agent
This route checks whether the caller can edit the session: LEVEL_EDIT session permission check
But it does not check whether the bound agent is a shared/template agent.
Shared/template agents have:
agent.session_id is None
The API already exposes that these agents are not meant to be MCP-editable: mcp_servers_editable is false for shared/template agents
The direct MCP edit endpoint correctly blocks shared/template agents: session_mcp_servers.py shared-agent guard
if agent.session_id is None:
raise OmnigentError("Built-in agents are read-only through this endpoint.")
The full bundle upload endpoint is missing that same guard. It stores the uploaded bundle and updates the agent row: agent_store.update(agent.id, new_loc)
For shared/template agents, this changes the shared agent itself, not only the attacker's session.
This becomes command execution because stdio MCP servers start the configured command as a runner subprocess: tools/mcp.py stdio subprocess launch
Suggested fix: add the same agent.session_id is None guard to PUT /sessions/{session_id}/agent.
Impact
This is authenticated RCE against Omnigent runner hosts. A normal authenticated user with edit access to their own session can poison a shared/template agent bundle, even though that agent is shown as not MCP-editable. The poisoned bundle can then be used by future sessions created from the same shared agent.
Because stdio MCP servers run as local subprocesses, the attacker-controlled command executes with the permissions of the Omnigent runner process. In a shared or company-hosted deployment, this can let an attacker read runner-accessible files and credentials, modify workspace data, disrupt runner availability, pivot to internal services reachable from the runner, or establish an interactive remote shell if outbound networking is allowed.
This is high impact because it turns normal shared-agent session access into command execution on runner infrastructure used by other sessions.
Untrusted input is evaluated as executable code within the application's runtime environment. Typical impact: arbitrary code execution within the application's privilege context.
CVE-2026-62674 has a CVSS score of 9.0 (Critical). The vector is network-reachable, low privileges required, and user interaction required. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (0.3.0); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2026-62674? CVE-2026-62674 is a critical-severity code injection vulnerability in omnigent (pip), affecting versions < 0.3.0. It is fixed in 0.3.0. Untrusted input is evaluated as executable code within the application's runtime environment.
- How severe is CVE-2026-62674? CVE-2026-62674 has a CVSS score of 9.0 (Critical). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
- Which versions of omnigent are affected by CVE-2026-62674? omnigent (pip) versions < 0.3.0 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2026-62674? Yes. CVE-2026-62674 is fixed in 0.3.0. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2026-62674 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2026-62674 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2026-62674 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
