Summary

CVE-2026-3409 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 6.9 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 26th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as LLM Application Platforms; in the Supply Chain and Deployment risk domain.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2026-3409 is a code injection vulnerability in eosphoros-ai db-gpt version 0.7.5. The issue resides in the Flow Import Endpoint at /api/v1/serve/awel/flow/import, specifically within the importlib.machinery.SourceFileLoader.exec_module function. Attackers can trigger the flaw by manipulating a File input, leading to arbitrary code execution.

The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L), making it remotely exploitable over the network by unauthenticated attackers with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation enables limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, associated with CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements) and CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code).

VulDB advisories detail the issue and note that an exploit has been publicly released via a GitHub Gist. The vendor was contacted early for disclosure but provided no response, and no patches or official mitigations are available. Security practitioners should restrict access to the affected endpoint and monitor for anomalous file imports.

An exploit PoC is available publicly, increasing the risk of real-world attacks against exposed db-gpt instances. As part of eosphoros-ai's db-gpt, the flaw may impact AI-driven database tools.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.

SI-10 directly requires validation of information inputs to reject malformed or special-element content before it reaches downstream parsers.

Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.

Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and output encoding that prevent injection flaws.

PR.DS-10 none match
prevents

PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

Monitoring activities can identify active injection attacks after they occur.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent injection flaws.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection attacks in software design.

prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce injection surfaces but do not prescribe specific neutralization techniques.
