Summary

CVE-2026-6110 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Deepwisdom Metagpt. Its CVSS base score is 5.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Dynamic Linker Hijacking (T1574.006); ranked at the 35th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as AI Agent Protocols and Integrations; 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-2026-6110 is a code injection vulnerability affecting FoundationAgents MetaGPT versions up to 0.8.1, specifically in the generate_thoughts function of the metagpt/strategy/tot.py file within the Tree-of-Thought Solver component. Published on 2026-04-12, it is linked to CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component) and CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code), with 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).

The vulnerability enables remote attackers requiring no privileges or user interaction to exploit it over the network with low attack complexity, leading to arbitrary code injection. Successful exploitation can result in low-level impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

References indicate the project was informed early via GitHub issue #1933 but has not responded as of the latest details. A related pull request #1946 appears in the repository, potentially offering a fix, with additional submission and vulnerability details on VulDB (vuldb.com/submit/791761 and vuldb.com/vuln/356970). The exploit is publicly available and might be used.

MetaGPT, an AI agent framework incorporating Tree-of-Thought reasoning, has no reported real-world exploitation at this time.

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

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).

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.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging supports detection of injection attempts but does not prevent the weakness.

finds

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.

prevents

Secure coding standards require proper neutralization of special elements, directly addressing CWE-74.
