CVE-2026-65638
CriticalCVSS 9.2Summary
Improper escaping of a request URL in ConfigServer Security & Firewall allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the CSF service account via shell command injection. The vulnerability affects versions of the software originally distributed by ConfigServer, as well as versions of the WebPros-maintained fork that contain the vulnerable code. WebPros has addressed the vulnerability in version 16.30. Other forks or independently maintained versions of ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) may also be affected and should be evaluated independently.
Risk Assessment
An unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary commands as the CSF service account, potentially leading to system compromise and privilege escalation.
Recommendation
Upgrade ConfigServer Security & Firewall to version 16.30 or later (or the corresponding fix in your fork) and restrict network access to the CSF interface.
Other vulnerabilities in ConfigServer Security & Firewall
See all- CVE-2026-65639Critical
OS command injection in the advanced-rule parser of ConfigServer Security & Firewall allows a remote attacker who controls a configured allow/deny feed to execute arbitrary commands as root, due to insufficient validation of feed-supplied rule data. The vulnerability affects versions of the software originally distributed by ConfigServer, as well as versions of the WebPros-maintained fork that contain the vulnerable code. WebPros has addressed the vulnerability in version 16.30. Other forks or independently maintained versions of ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) may also be affected and should be evaluated independently.
- CVE-2026-67402Critical
An insecure Apache configuration in ConfigServer Security & Firewall maps /usr/bin as CGI programs through the Messenger v3 HTTPS virtual host. A remote unauthenticated attacker whose address is blocked can request a mapped executable and run arbitrary commands as the Apache user. The vulnerability affects installations where CSF Messenger v3 and its HTTPS mode are enabled. WebPros addressed the vulnerability in version 16.31.
