CVE-2026-79766

CriticalCVSS 9.1
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

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.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with Termix administrator privileges can execute arbitrary operating-system commands, gaining access to databases, secrets, stored credentials, and network reachability. This can lead to full compromise of the environment managed by Termix.

Recommendation

Update Termix to version 2.5.1 or later. Restrict Termix administrator privileges and verify that no unauthorized command execution occurred.
