CVE-2026-122014
Description
A flaw was found in npcpy. An input validation vulnerability in the model loading component allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. By supplying a specially crafted model name or path parameter, an attacker can inject and execute unintended commands within the application's runtime environment.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated as an Important impact because successful exploitation permits arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the running application, compromising host integrity and confidentiality. Although an attacker could achieve complete control over the application environment, exploitation relies on inducing the application or user to load a model from an untrusted source or manipulated path. Red Hat products do not include or distribute this component by default, limiting the potential attack surface across standard enterprise deployments.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Access Control
Technical Impact: Bypass Protection Mechanism
In some cases, injectable code controls authentication; this may lead to a remote vulnerability.
Access Control
Technical Impact: Gain Privileges or Assume Identity
Injected code can access resources that the attacker is directly prevented from accessing.
Integrity,Confidentiality,Availability
Technical Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
When a product allows a user's input to contain code syntax, it might be possible for an attacker to craft the code in such a way that it will alter the intended control flow of the product. As a result, code injection can often result in the execution of arbitrary code. Code injection attacks can also lead to loss of data integrity in nearly all cases, since the control-plane data injected is always incidental to data recall or writing.
Non-Repudiation
Technical Impact: Hide Activities
Often the actions performed by injected control code are unlogged.
