CVE-2026-3518: CWE-77 in Progress Software LoadMaster
OS Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in API in Progress ADC Products allows an authenticated attacker with “All” permissions to execute arbitrary commands on the LoadMaster appliance by exploiting unsanitized input in the 'killsession' command
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-3518) in Progress Software LoadMaster version 7.2.37.0 involves OS Command Injection (CWE-77) in the API's 'killsession' command. An authenticated attacker with 'All' permissions can exploit unsanitized input handling to execute arbitrary system commands on the LoadMaster appliance. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.4, reflecting high impact and low attack complexity with required privileges and no user interaction. The vulnerability is published and assigned by ProgressSoftware, but no patch or official remediation level has been disclosed yet.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with full permissions to execute arbitrary OS commands on the LoadMaster appliance, potentially leading to complete compromise of the device, including full control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. This could disrupt network traffic management and security functions provided by the LoadMaster appliance.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the LoadMaster management interface to trusted administrators only and monitor for suspicious activity. Avoid granting unnecessary 'All' permissions to users. Follow vendor updates closely for any forthcoming patches or mitigations.
