CVE-2026-38992: n/a
Cockpit v2.13.5 and earlier is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution via the filter parameter within multiple endpoints. This vulnerability allows an attacker to run system commands on the underlying infrastructure via the MongoLite $func operator.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-38992 describes an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in Cockpit v2.13.5 and earlier. The issue arises from improper handling of the filter parameter in multiple endpoints, which leverages the MongoLite $func operator to execute system commands. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to run arbitrary commands on the host system running Cockpit, potentially leading to full system compromise. No CVSS score or vendor advisory is available, and no patch or mitigation details have been published.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability would allow an attacker to execute arbitrary system commands on the affected infrastructure. This could lead to unauthorized control over the system, data compromise, or disruption of services. There are currently no known exploits in the wild, and no official remediation guidance has been provided.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should consider restricting access to Cockpit endpoints and monitor for suspicious activity related to the filter parameter. Avoid exposing the service to untrusted networks.
