# CVE-2026-67547: taOS: Authenticated Non-Admin Host Code Execution via Skill Runtime

taOS 1.0.0-beta.22 and earlier are affected, where any authenticated non-admin user can run Python code on the host. Fixed in 1.0.0-beta.23.

- Severity: CVSS 8.8 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Exposure: Specific setups only
- Attention: Reference. No open trigger. (last checked 2026-11-11)
- Fixed in: 1.0.0-beta.23
- Published: 2026-11-11 · Updated: 2026-11-11

CVE-2026-67547 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 8.8 (high) and affects taOS; fixed in 1.0.0-beta.23.

## Summary

Authenticated non-admin users of the taOS self-hosted AI agent OS can run arbitrary Python code on the host by sending a request to the skill execution endpoint, because the endpoint skips admin and ownership checks. The attack is carried out remotely over the network with only a low-privilege login, and the code runs as the taOS backend process user, giving full control of the host.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Who should check

Operators running taOS up to 1.0.0-beta.22 where non-admin users hold accounts through admin-issued invites.

## Affected

- jaylfc taOS: fixed in 1.0.0-beta.23

## Description

taOS is a self-hosted AI agent OS. Prior to version 1.0.0-beta.23, the POST /api/skill-exec/{skill_id}/call endpoint in taOS executes built-in skills — including the code_exec skill which runs arbitrary Python via subprocess.run(["python3", "-c", code]) — without performing any admin role check, skill ownership check, or agent assignment verification. Any authenticated non-admin user can supply attacker-controlled Python code in the request body and have it executed as the taOS backend process user on the host, achieving full remote code execution with no privilege escalation required beyond a valid (non-admin) session. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.0-beta.23.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on jaylfc taOS, upgrade to a fixed version (1.0.0-beta.23) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, run the stack.check operation (execute) on the cve.now MCP server (https://mcp.cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-67547 (taOS: Authenticated Non-Admin Host Code Execution via Skill Runtime), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-67547 (entry last updated 2026-11-11):
Affected:
- jaylfc taOS: fixed in 1.0.0-beta.23
Fixed versions: 1.0.0-beta.23.
Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- Affected versions are 1.0.0-beta.22 and earlier. (source: https://github.com/jaylfc/taOS/security/advisories/GHSA-h24f-gp4c-8qjm)
- Attacker needs a valid non-admin user session. (source: https://github.com/jaylfc/taOS/security/advisories/GHSA-h24f-gp4c-8qjm)
Setup: the bug is reachable in a default setup; no special feature or setting is needed.
Attacker needs: network access, low-privilege login, no user action.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-67547 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-67547 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:

## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-67547 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.

Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-67547

### What does this mean?

Any authenticated non-admin taOS user can supply Python code that the skill runtime runs as the taOS backend process user on the host. That gives full remote code execution on the host.

### Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-67547?

taOS: before 1.0.0-beta.23.

Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-67547

### Am I affected, and how do I check?

Versions 1.0.0-beta.22 and earlier are affected, and the bug requires a valid non-admin user session. To check, look at the taOS version you run and compare it with 1.0.0-beta.22.
