What is CVE-2026-27483?

MindsDB, a data-driven AI platform, has a vulnerability in its /api/files interface that allows authenticated attackers to exploit path traversal in the 'Upload File' module. This weakness is due to insufficient validation of file paths, permitting attackers to incorporate '../' sequences in the filename. Consequently, an attacker could manipulate the file upload process to write arbitrary content to any server path, potentially leading to remote command execution. This vulnerability has been addressed in version 25.9.1.1.

Affected Version(s)

mindsdb < 25.9.1.1

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
