GHSA-756x-9hf6-q4h4: Code Injection
Summary
An authenticated user can upload a crafted agent bundle that defines a server-side Python callable tool. The server validates the uploaded bundle, but it does not block dangerous callable: paths in untrusted user-provided agent configs.
When the tool is invoked, the runner imports and executes that Python callable. A crafted bundle can point the tool at subprocess.checkoutput, which lets the attacker run a local command on the runner machine.
This is serious because hosted Omnigent deployments can have multiple users and shared or managed runner hosts. A normal logged-in user should not be able to make the runner execute arbitrary local commands.
Details
The uploaded bundle path is reachable through session creation. Omnigent supports custom agent bundles through multipart POST /v1/sessions; the Web UI uses this same endpoint for custom agents:
Create custom agent builds and uploads a bundle \ createBundledSession posts the bundle to /v1/sessions
A crafted bundle can also be submitted directly through the API/CLI when creating a session from agent YAML. The PoC below uses this direct bundle shape so the vulnerable trust boundary is easy to reproduce.
On the server, uploaded bundles are validated here: validateagentbundle
The validator already treats uploaded bundles as untrusted in some ways. For example, it disables server-side environment expansion and can enforce a policy-handler allowlist: python spec = load( bundlebytes, dest=Path(tmpdir) / "agent", expandenv=False, enforcehandlerallowlist=enforcehandlerallowlist, ) However, the same validation does not reject tools.<name>.callable entries in an uploaded agent bundle. Python callable tools are an intended trusted/operator feature, but the upload path accepts them from tenant-provided bundles too.
The docs describe server-side Python callable tools here: Python function tool docs \ Later, the runner resolves and executes those callables: resolvespeccallable imports the dotted path python mod = importlib.importmodule(modulename) fn = getattr(mod, attrname, None) executespeccallabletool calls the resolved function python result = await asyncio.tothread(resolved, args) The high-level tool dispatcher falls back to this callable execution path: executetool callable fallback python output = await executespeccallabletool(toolname, args, agentspec=agentspec)
The problem is the trust boundary. Python callables are a trusted local developer feature, but uploaded agent bundles can be user-controlled in a hosted/multi-user server. The upload validator blocks some trusted-only policy behavior, but it does not block trusted-only tool callables.
Suggested fix: when validating HTTP-uploaded bundles on a shared/multi-user server, reject server-side Python callable tools unless they are explicitly allowlisted by the operator. A conservative fix would reject callable: tool paths for tenant-uploaded bundles, while keeping trusted local/operator-authored configs working.
Impact
This is authenticated RCE against the Omnigent runner environment. A normal authenticated user who can upload or create a custom agent bundle can declare a server-side Python callable and have the runner import and execute it.
Because the callable runs inside the runner process, the attacker-controlled code runs with the runner's permissions. In a hosted or multi-user deployment, this can expose runner-accessible files, environment variables, credentials, workspace data, internal services reachable from the runner, and runner availability.
This is high impact because it crosses the boundary from "upload an agent config" to "execute local code on shared runner infrastructure" without requiring admin/operator access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which environments are most exposed to this issue?
Hosted Omnigent deployments with multiple users and shared or managed runner hosts are particularly exposed, because a normal logged-in user may be able to cause commands to run on the runner machine.
What access does an attacker need to exploit it?
The attacker needs an authenticated Omnigent account and the ability to create a session with a custom agent bundle. The bundle-upload path is available through multipart POST requests to /v1/sessions.
Is this limited to direct API use?
No. The Web UI uses the same session-creation endpoint when creating and uploading a custom agent bundle, so the reachable upload path is not limited to direct API clients.
