CVE-2026-106442
7.8 HIGHpublic exploit availablePublished 2026-10-06 · Updated 2026-10-07
AI risk analysis
- Summary
- Hydra framework's instantiate() function has incomplete validation that allows attackers to bypass target blacklisting and execute arbitrary code with application privileges. This affects versions 1.3.4 through 1.3.6 and 1.4.0.dev9.
- Exploitability
- Moderately difficult to exploit requiring an application that processes untrusted Hydra configuration, but attackers can leverage execution wrappers, pickle deserialization, and callable aliases to bypass the name-based authorization checks.
- Blast radius
- High impact as attackers can execute arbitrary code with the application's privileges, potentially leading to full system compromise or data exfiltration.
- Detection
- No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
- Prioritized remediation
- Upgrade to version 1.3.6 or 1.4.0.dev9 which contain the fix for this vulnerability.

NVD description
Hydra is a framework for elegantly configuring complex applications. From 1.3.4 until 1.3.6 and 1.4.0.dev9, the instantiate() target blacklist introduced for CVE-2026-68508 incompletely checks the effective callable selected by the target field. Execution wrappers such as timeit.timeit, executable deserialization through pickle.loads, aliases, callable-returning helpers, generic dispatch, and deferred calls can obscure or defer the effective target and bypass name-based authorization. An attacker who causes an application to instantiate untrusted Hydra configuration can use these gaps to execute code with the application's privileges. This issue is fixed in versions 1.3.6 and 1.4.0.dev9.
