uptrain: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component
CVE-2025-27770 is a high-severity improper neutralization of special elements in output used by a downstream component vulnerability in uptrain from Uptrain-ai, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.4 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. Affected uptrain versions: <= 0.7.1. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.83% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 58% of scored CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

Official description
UpTrain is an open-source platform to evaluate and improve generative AI applications. In version 0.7.1 and prior, the `/create_project` endpoint is vulnerable to remote code execution via the `checks` and `metadata` parameters. Any user that has access to UpTrain and a valid authentication method may be able to execute arbitrary code in the context of the host running UpTrain, which in most cases will be the docker container as suggested by the documentation. As of time of publication, no known patch is available.

The underlying weakness: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component
The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Programming languages and supporting technologies might be chosen which are not subject to these issues.
- Utilize an appropriate mix of allowlist and denylist parsing to filter control-plane syntax from all input.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: yes, technical impact: total).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
