CVE-2026-67544: Heym workflow engine arbitrary code execution via Playwright node

CVE-2026-67544 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.8 · Published 2026-11-11

Heym is a platform for building automated workflows and agentic systems on self-hosted infrastructure. A vulnerability in versions prior to 0.0.71 allows any authenticated user, including newly registered accounts, to execute arbitrary Python code on the backend host by injecting malicious code into the Playwright node configuration. In default Docker deployments, this code runs with root privileges, giving attackers complete control of the host system.

Technologies: Heym. Vendors: Heym.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: 0.0.71

Technical details

The Playwright node in Heym's workflow engine accepts an arbitrary Python code string in the playwrightCode field, writes it to a temporary .py file, and executes it directly via subprocess.Popen with no sandboxing, AST validation, or access controls. Any authenticated user can exploit this to achieve remote code execution (RCE) as the backend service user. The fix in version 0.0.71 disables custom code by default and adds sandboxing when enabled.
