CVE-2026-4837 Details
Description
An eval() injection vulnerability in the Rapid7 Insight Agent beaconing logic for Linux versions could theoretically allow an attacker to achieve remote code execution as root via a crafted beacon response. Because the Agent uses mutual TLS (mTLS) to verify commands from the Rapid7 Platform, it is unlikely that the eval() function could be exploited remotely without prior, highly privileged access to the backend platform.
A vulnerability allowing eval injection has been identified in the Rapid7 Insight Agent's beaconing logic for Linux. This vulnerability could theoretically enable an attacker to execute remote code as root by sending a crafted beacon response. However, exploitation would likely require prior, highly privileged access to the Rapid7 backend platform, as the agent uses mutual TLS (mTLS) to verify commands from the platform.
