Until a fix is available, restrict access to the pm2panel interface to trusted users only and consider additional input validation or filtering at the application or network level to prevent exploitation.

Description

CVE-2026-72573 is an OS command injection vulnerability in all versions of 4xmen/pm2panel. It allows an authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary system commands on the host by exploiting unsanitized input passed to a system exec call. The vulnerability arises because the pm2panel.js handler directly uses the req.query.id parameter without validation or escaping, enabling command chaining via shell metacharacters.
