CVE-2026-30625
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedUpsonic 0.71.6 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in its MCP server/task creation functionality. The application allows users to define MCP tasks with arbitrary command and args values. Although an allowlist exists, certain allowed commands (npm, npx) accept argument flags that enable execution of arbitrary OS commands. Maliciously crafted MCP tasks may lead to remote code execution with the privileges of the Upsonic process. In version 0.72.0 Upsonic added a warning about using Stdio servers being able to execute commands directly on the machine.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceUpsonic 0.71.6 MCP server allows users to define tasks with arbitrary command and args values. While an allowlist restricts allowed commands, whitelisted commands like npm and npx accept argument flags that enable execution of arbitrary OS commands, leading to RCE with the privileges of the Upsonic process.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Upsonic installation and versionRun 'pip show upsonic' or check your package manager for the installed version of the upsonic packageAffected if The installed version is 0.71.6 or any version earlier than 0.72.0
-
Locate the Upsonic configuration fileLook for a config file named upsonic.json, upsonic.yaml, or a .upsonic directory in the user's home or project rootAffected if The configuration file exists and the MCP server component is enabled
-
Verify MCP server task feature is enabledInspect the configuration file for MCP server settings, specifically looking for 'server' or 'mcp' sections with task-related capabilitiesAffected if The MCP server is configured with task execution capabilities present
-
Check for npm/npx command definitions in tasksSearch configuration files for task definitions that reference 'npm' or 'npx' commands with user-controlled argumentsAffected if Tasks using whitelisted commands (npm, npx) with arbitrary argument flags are defined or can be defined
You are affected if Upsonic version 0.71.6 or earlier is installed AND the MCP server with task functionality is enabled, allowing arbitrary command arguments through whitelisted utilities like npm or npx.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to version 0.72.0 or later which includes warnings about Stdio server risks, and implement strict command validation to prevent injection through whitelisted utilities.
0.72.0 or later
- 1. Identify the current Upsonic version installed in your environment (e.g., check requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, or pip list)
- 2. Upgrade to Upsonic version 0.72.0 or later by running: pip install --upgrade upsonic>=0.72.0
- 3. After upgrading, review the warning about Stdio servers being able to execute commands directly on the machine
- 4. Audit existing MCP task configurations to ensure no malicious tasks were created
- 5. Implement additional input validation on MCP task command and args if the application is exposed to untrusted users
