SCA: security update for mindsdb (GHSA-4894-xqv6-vrfq)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438012

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- MindsDB is a platform for building artificial intelligence from enterprise data. Prior to version
25.9.1.1, there is a path traversal vulnerability in Mindsdb's /api/files interface, which an
authenticated attacker can exploit to achieve remote command execution. The vulnerability exists in the
"Upload File" module, which corresponds to the API endpoint /api/files. Since the multipart file upload
does not perform security checks on the uploaded file path, an attacker can perform path traversal by
using `../` sequences in the filename field. The file write operation occurs before calling clear_filename
and save_file, meaning there is no filtering of filenames or file types, allowing arbitrary content to be
written to any path on the server. Version 25.9.1.1 patches the issue. (CVE-2026-27483)

Solution

Update the mindsdb library and its related packages to version 25.9.1.1 or later.
