CVE-2026-11455 — FoundationAgents MetaGPT common.py check_cmd_exists command injection

A vulnerability was determined in FoundationAgents MetaGPT up to 0.8.2. Affected by this issue is the function check_cmd_exists of the file metagpt/utils/common.py. This manipulation of the argument mermaid.path causes command injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. A high degree of complexity is needed for the attack. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

Low

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.

How the score was calculated

EPSS 0.9% (30-day exploitation probability)+9
Technical severity (medium)+3
CISA SSVC: exploitation "poc"+5

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-11455 is "FoundationAgents MetaGPT common.py check_cmd_exists command injection", rated Medium. It affects MetaGPT (FoundationAgents); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 5.0 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.94% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
