CVE-2026-55376heym Python Tool Sandbox Escape

Does this affect you?

It affects heymrun heym. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 0.36%, higher than 28% of scored CVEs.

Heym builds and runs agentic systems and business-process automations on self-hosted infrastructure. Prior to 0.0.40, an authenticated user who can create or edit a workflow with an Agent custom Python tool can bypass the blacklist-based sandbox in backend/app/services/python_tool_executor.py because allowed standard-library modules expose operating-system, process, and filesystem capabilities through public attributes that pass _safe_import() and _validate_code_safety(). The runner then executes the supplied tool with exec(), permitting commands and file operations as the backend application user; self-registration affects reachability, but portal triggering alone does not grant code control. This issue is fixed in 0.0.40.
