AI-suggested
Since the product reached end of service in March 2026, it is likely no official patches will be issued. Users should consider discontinuing use or isolating affected systems. Monitor vendor advisories for any updates. Restrict access to the affected interfaces and limit authentication to trusted users to reduce risk.
Description
XWEB EVO versions 5.2.3 through 5.8.8 contain an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability. Authenticated attackers can inject shell metacharacters into the output device path parameter processed by backup.lua, leading to arbitrary command execution as root. This occurs due to unescaped concatenation into shell commands executed via the wlua interpreter, including through setuid interfaces xwbackup.cgi and xwrestore.cgi. The product reached end of service in March 2026.
