    [+] Summary    :  CVE-2026-28370 A Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in the query parser of OpenStack Vitrage prior to versions 12.0.1, 13.0.0, 14.0.0, and 15.0.0.
    
    The issue resides in the _create_query_function method located in:
    
    vitrage/graph/query.py
    
    The vulnerability is caused by unsafe use of Python’s eval() function when dynamically constructing query predicates. User-controlled input supplied via the Vitrage API is embedded directly into a string expression that is later executed with eval().
    
    Because the input is not safely sanitized or parsed, an authenticated user with API access can inject arbitrary Python code. This allows execution of system-level commands on the host running the Vitrage service, under the service account privileges.

    import os
    
    def _evaluable_str(value):
        """Wraps the value in single quotes if it's a string."""
        if isinstance(value, str):
            return "'" + value + "'"
        return str(value)
    
    def create_predicate(query_dict):
        """
        Simplified version of the vulnerable logic.
        It builds a string and passes it to eval().

        key, val = list(query_dict['=='].items())[0]
    
        expression = f"(item.get('{key}') == {_evaluable_str(val)})"
        full_cmd = "lambda item: " + expression
        
        print(f"Executing built string: {full_cmd}")
