OpenLearnX is an open-source, decentralized learning and assessment platform. Prior to version 2.0.3, a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability was identified in the OpenLearnX code execution environment, allowing sandbox escape and arbitrary command execution. This issue has been patched in version 2.0.3.
CVE-2026-41900
This high-severity CVE scores 8.8 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.9%, top 45% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
