Summary
Termix before version 2.3.2 contains a vulnerability in the terminal WebSocket that allows an authenticated low-privileged user to use another user's credentials to connect to an attacker-controlled SSH server. This can lead to disclosure of SSH passwords or private keys.
Risk Assessment
Disclosure of SSH credentials could allow an attacker to access systems managed by Termix, compromising the security of the entire infrastructure.
Recommendation
Upgrade Termix to version 2.3.2 or later, which includes a fix for this vulnerability.
Other vulnerabilities in Termix
See all- CVE-2026-45749High
Termix is a server management platform that prior to version 2.3.2 accepted the account password as the sole authentication factor for MFA-critical operations. An attacker who obtains a user's password can completely disable TOTP or regenerate backup codes, rendering two-factor authentication ineffective.
- CVE-2026-45743High
Termix is a web-based server management platform that prior to version 2.3.2 had 16 file-manager endpoints that did not verify if the requesting user owns the SSH session identified by `sessionId`. An authenticated attacker who knows or guesses another user's active `sessionId` can access files on the victim's connected SSH host.
- CVE-2026-22804High
Termix, a web-based server management platform, versions 1.7.0 to 1.9.0, has a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the File Manager component. The application fails to sanitize SVG file content before rendering, allowing an attacker who has compromised a managed SSH server to plant a malicious file. When previewed by the Termix user, it executes arbitrary JavaScript in the application context. This is fixed in version 1.10.0.
- CVE-2026-79766Critical
In Termix from 2.4.1 until 2.5.1, an authenticated Termix administrator can store attacker-controlled domain and email values through PATCH /users/acme-ssl-settings and trigger their interpolation into a certbot shell command through POST /users/acme-ssl-request. In acme-ssl-routes.ts, child_process.execSync invokes /bin/sh -c with those values only wrapped in double quotes, so shell metacharacters can execute arbitrary operating-system commands as the Termix backend process. Both HTTP webroot and DNS Cloudflare challenge modes are affected, and compromise exposes Termix databases, process secrets, stored credentials, and network reachability. This issue is fixed in version 2.5.1.
- CVE-2026-53548Critical
Termix before version 2.6.1 contains a vulnerability in the GET /host/db/host/:id/password endpoint that does not enforce host ownership during credential resolution. An authenticated user can enumerate host IDs and retrieve SSH or sudo passwords belonging to other users.
- CVE-2026-53545Critical
Termix before version 2.3.2 contains a vulnerability in the SSH tunnel teardown path that interpolates user-controlled data into a pkill command pattern. An authenticated user can inject a shell command that executes when the tunnel is disconnected.
- CVE-2026-45748Critical
Termix is a web-based server management platform that prior to version 2.3.2 had a vulnerability in the `POST /ssh/tunnel/connect` endpoint. This vulnerability allowed OS command injection through user-controlled fields being interpolated directly into a shell command.
- CVE-2026-45744Critical
Termix is a web-based server management platform that was vulnerable to OS command injection in the GET /ssh/file_manager/ssh/resolvePath endpoint prior to version 2.3.2. This allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands on the connected remote host.
- CVE-2026-42454Critical
Termix prior to version 2.1.0 contains a command injection vulnerability in Docker container management endpoints, where the containerId parameter is directly interpolated into shell commands, allowing an authenticated attacker to achieve remote code execution on the managed server.
- CVE-2026-79764High
Termix versions 2.5.0 through 2.5.1 have a vulnerability in the /homepage/proxy endpoint that passes the url parameter to http.get or https.get without destination restrictions. URL validation is only syntactic, allowing requests to loopback, RFC1918, link-local, and cloud metadata destinations. An authenticated low-privilege user can exfiltrate internal service data and cloud credentials.
Original NVD description (English source)
Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities. Prior to 2.3.2, the terminal WebSocket accepts a user-controlled hostConfig.id and src/backend/ssh/host-resolver.ts resolves that host without requiring ownership or explicit access. When no credential is shared with the requester, resolveHostById performs an owner credential fallback, and src/backend/ssh/terminal.ts combines that credential with attacker-controlled ip, port, and username values. An authenticated low-privileged user can therefore make Termix authenticate to an attacker-controlled SSH server and disclose another user's stored SSH password or private-key material while the victim user's data key is unlocked. This issue is fixed in version 2.3.2.
