Two high-severity vulnerabilities in the Python web UI framework Mesop exposed applications to unauthenticated compromise in version 1.2.2 and earlier. The most critical issue, tracked as CVE-2026-33057, allowed remote code execution through an exposed /exec-py route in Mesop's AI testing infrastructure, where a debugging Flask server accepted base64-encoded Python code and executed it without authentication. The flaw was assigned CWE-94 and a CVSS 3.1 score vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H.
A second flaw, CVE-2026-33054, let attackers exploit path traversal via an untrusted state_token processed by FileStateSessionBackend, enabling file write or deletion outside intended application boundaries and potentially causing denial-of-service crash loops. That issue was classified as CWE-22 with a CVSS 3.1 vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H. Mesop addressed both vulnerabilities in version 1.2.3, and GitHub published security advisories and patch references for the fixes.

4 events from the most recent confirmed update back to the earliest known activity.
Security advisory information for the Mesop vulnerabilities was published on March 20, 2026, including notice that CVE-2026-33054 was newly received by security-advisories@github.com that day. The advisories documented impact, affected versions, and remediation in Mesop 1.2.3.
Mesop fixed both the path traversal issue in FileStateSessionBackend and the unauthenticated /exec-py remote code execution flaw in version 1.2.3. The fixes were referenced in security advisory material and an associated patch commit.
Mesop's file-based runtime backend allowed path traversal through an untrusted state_token in the UI stream payload, which could cause crash loops and arbitrary file write or deletion outside intended boundaries. The issue was later assigned CVE-2026-33054.
Mesop contained an exposed AI testing endpoint, /exec-py, that accepted and executed untrusted Python code without authentication, enabling remote code execution in version 1.2.2 and earlier. The flaw was later tracked as CVE-2026-33057.
