CVE-2026-108944: repository RAE Config-Driven Model Instantiation model_utils.py get_obj_from_str code injection
A security vulnerability has been detected in repository RAE up to a4d18c4db766419cbe7cb8c02cd9f7ceb0ec9041. Affected by this vulnerability is the function getobjfromstr of the file src/utils/modelutils.py of the component Config-Driven Model Instantiation. Such manipulation of the argument Target leads to code injection. The attack must be carried out locally. This product utilizes a rolling release system for continuous delivery, and as such, version information for affected or updated releases is not disclosed. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is realistically exposed to this issue?
Systems using RAE with configuration-driven model instantiation are exposed if a local user can manipulate the Target argument consumed by src/utils/model_utils.py. The attack is local and requires low privileges and user interaction.
What does an attacker need to exploit it?
An attacker needs local access, low-level privileges, and a way to manipulate the Target argument passed to get_obj_from_str. Exploitation also requires user interaction.
Are fixed or affected release versions available?
No specific fixed or affected release versions are disclosed. RAE uses a rolling release model, and the affected source state is identified as up to commit a4d18c4db766419cbe7cb8c02cd9f7ceb0ec9041.
What can be done if patching is not immediately possible?
Restrict local access and prevent untrusted users from modifying configuration values that control the Target argument. Review uses of configuration-driven model instantiation and limit who can supply or alter those configurations.
