# CVE-2011-10026: Spree Commerce is vulnerable to RCE through Search API

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Not in CISA KEV , but CISA’s SSVC assessment records a public proof-of-concept, so attack code exists.
- EPSS 3.8% , percentile 90: FIRST’s model estimates a 3.8% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 90% of all scored CVEs (elevated). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes spree (RubyGems) >= 0.30.0.beta1, < 0.50.0, fixed in 0.50.0 ; rd_searchlogic (RubyGems) <= 3.0.1, no fixed version listed . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

Spreecommerce versions prior to 0.50.x contain a remote command execution vulnerability in the API's search functionality. Improper input sanitation allows attackers to inject arbitrary shell commands via the search[instanceeval] parameter, which is dynamically invoked using Ruby’s send method. This flaw enables unauthenticated attackers to execute commands on the server.

## Affected packages

- RubyGems `spree` >= 0.30.0.beta1, < 0.50.0 → fixed: 0.50.0
- RubyGems `rd_searchlogic` <= 3.0.1 → fixed: none listed

## Affected products (CVE record)

- Spreecommerce Spreecommerce: < 0.50.*

## Severity

- VulnCheck CVSS 4.0: 9.3 `CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N`
- GitHub CVSS 4.0: 9.3 `CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation poc , automatable yes , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 3.80% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 90.
