Evidence used

  • CISA confirms exploitation in the wild.
  • A structured source references public exploit or proof-of-concept material.
  • The selected CVSS metric records a network-reachable, unauthenticated path with no user interaction.
  • EPSS is 37.87% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Increase monitoring for the attack path and post-exploitation behaviour described in the report.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Marimo Marimo and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 3 daysRemediation target: Within 90 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

EUVD-2026-20980

CISA KEV mirrored by ENISA

marimo is a reactive Python notebook. Prior to 0.23.0, Marimo has a Pre-Auth RCE vulnerability. The terminal WebSocket endpoint /terminal/ws lacks authentication validation, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to obtain a full PTY shell and execute arbitrary system commands. Unlike other WebSocket endpoints (e.g., /ws) that correctly call validate_auth() for authentication, the /terminal/ws endpoint only checks the running mode and platform support before accepting connections, completely skipping authentication verification. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.23.0.

01

What, why and how

Marimo contains an pre-authorization remote code execution vulnerability, allowing an unauthenticated attacked to shell access and execute arbitrary system commands.

What

Marimo contains an pre-authorization remote code execution vulnerability, allowing an unauthenticated attacked to shell access and execute arbitrary system commands.

Why

A security-sensitive function is reachable without the authentication check that should protect it.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may execute code or commands in the affected security context.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Confirmed in the wild

CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue on 2026-04-23.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Reference recorded

A structured CVE source labels at least one public reference as exploit material. BlackTree has not independently validated that it is safe, reliable or weaponised.

JVN iPedia · Japanese · JVNDB-2026-012956CoreWeaveのmarimoにおける重要な機能に対する認証の欠如に関する脆弱性

marimoはリアクティブなPythonノートブックです。0.23.0以前のバージョンにおいて、Marimoには認証前リモートコード実行（Pre-Auth RCE）の脆弱性が存在していました。ターミナルのWebSocketエンドポイントである/terminal/wsは認証検証を欠いており、認証されていない攻撃者が完全なPTYシェルを取得して任意のシステムコマンドを実行できる状態でした。他のWebSocketエンドポイント（例えば/ws）は認証のために正しくvalidate_auth()を呼び出しますが、/terminal/wsエンドポイントは接続を受け入れる前に実行モードとプラットフォームのサポートのみを確認し、認証検証を完全にスキップしていました。この脆弱性は0.23.0で修正されています。
