Description
CVE-2025-47780 is an OS command injection vulnerability in Asterisk PBX software where the cli_permissions.conf configuration intended to deny shell command execution via the CLI does not function correctly in affected versions. This flaw could allow an administrator who relies on cli_permissions.conf to be bypassed, potentially leading to unauthorized shell command execution. The issue is fixed in Asterisk versions 18.26.2, 20.14.1, 21.9.1, 22.4.1 and certified-asterisk versions 18.9-cert14 and 20.7-cert5.
