Sangoma FreePBX OS Command Injection Vulnerability
Sangoma FreePBX Endpoint Manager contains an OS command injection vulnerability that could allow for a post-authentication command injection by an authenticated known user via the testconnection -> check_ssh_connect() function. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to potentially obtain remote access to the system as an asterisk user.
A remote attacker, with administrative privileges, can achieve full data confidentiality loss, arbitrary modification of data, complete denial of service or system unavailability. Federal agencies are required to remediate by 2026-02-24 under CISA BOD 22-01.
This is a OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Sangoma FreePBX. FreePBX Endpoint Manager is a module for managing telephony endpoints in FreePBX systems. In versions 17.0.2.36 and above before 17.0.3, the filestore module within the Administrative interface is vulnerable to a post-authentication command injection by an authenticated known user via the testconnection -> check_ssh_connect() function. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to obtain remote access to the system as an asterisk user. This issue is fixed in version 17.0.3. Exploitation requires remote network access, low attack complexity, an administrative account, and no user interaction required.
Probably yes if any of these apply:
