CVE-2026-6108
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 · uneditedA vulnerability was found in 1Panel-dev MaxKB up to 2.6.1. The affected element is the function execute of the file apps/application/flow/step_node/mcp_node/impl/base_mcp_node.py of the component Model Context Protocol Node. Performing a manipulation results in os command injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. You should upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early, responded in a very professional manner and quickly released a fixed version of the affected product.
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 confidenceOS command injection vulnerability in the Model Context Protocol Node's execute function within MaxKB (1Panel-dev) up to version 2.6.1. The vulnerability exists in base_mcp_node.py and allows remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary OS commands through the affected function.

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 MaxKB installation and versionLocate the MaxKB application and retrieve its version number. Common methods: check the application's about page, look for a version file in the installation directory, or run 'maxkb --version' if CLI is available.Affected if The installed version is 2.6.1 or lower (any version up to and including 2.6.1)
-
Locate the vulnerable base_mcp_node.py fileSearch for the file named 'base_mcp_node.py' within the MaxKB installation directory. Common paths include: <maxkb_install_dir>/base_mcp_node.py or under a 'nodes' or 'mcp' subdirectory.Affected if The file exists in the MaxKB installation, indicating the MCP Node component is present
-
Verify the execute function exists in base_mcp_node.pyOpen base_mcp_node.py and locate the 'execute' function definition within it. Inspect whether the function processes user-supplied input and passes it to system command execution methods (e.g., os.system, subprocess calls, shell=True).Affected if The execute function is present and contains code that executes OS commands using unsanitized input
-
Check if MCP feature is enabled or configuredReview MaxKB configuration files (such as config.py, settings.py, or any .env file) for MCP-related settings. Look for flags like 'MCP_ENABLED', 'enable_mcp', or configurations referencing 'model_context_protocol'.Affected if MCP feature is enabled in the configuration, making the vulnerable code path reachable
-
Review MCP node usage in applicationsCheck if any MaxKB applications or workflows are using the Model Context Protocol Node. Look at application definitions, workflow configurations, or database records that reference MCP nodes.Affected if Any application or workflow actively uses the MCP Node component
You are affected if MaxKB version is 2.6.1 or lower AND the base_mcp_node.py file exists AND the MCP feature or node is enabled/used in your environment.

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 MaxKB to the fixed version released by the vendor (version higher than 2.6.1) to remediate this command injection vulnerability.
MaxKB version 2.6.2 or later
- 1. Back up your current MaxKB installation and database before performing any upgrade.
- 2. Check the official 1Panel-dev MaxKB repository or release page for the latest available version.
- 3. Download and install the fixed version (version 2.6.2 or later, as the vulnerability affects versions up to 2.6.1).
- 4. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the installed version.
- 5. Test the Model Context Protocol Node functionality to confirm the command injection vulnerability is remediated.
- 6. Review application logs for any suspicious activity that may indicate exploitation attempts.
