VulnerabilityCVE-2026-42453cvecve-2026-42453cwe-77
Published: 05/08/2026 (05/08/2026, 22:55:30 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Termix-SSH
Product: Termix

Description

Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities. Prior to version 2.1.0, the extractArchive and compressFiles endpoints in file-manager.ts use double-quoted strings for shell command construction, unlike all other file manager operations which use single-quote escaping. Double quotes allow $(command) substitution, enabling command injection on the remote SSH host. This issue has been patched in version 2.1.0.

Technical Analysis

Termix versions before 2.1.0 contain a command injection vulnerability (CWE-77) in the extractArchive and compressFiles endpoints of the file manager module. These endpoints construct shell commands using double quotes, which permit command substitution through $(command) syntax on the remote SSH host. This contrasts with other file manager operations that use safer single-quote escaping. The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands remotely via the SSH interface. The vulnerability is fixed in version 2.1.0.

Potential Impact

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the remote SSH host without authentication, potentially leading to full system compromise. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.7 (high severity), reflecting network attack vector, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality and integrity. No known exploits have been reported in the wild.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade Termix to version 2.1.0 or later, where this command injection vulnerability has been patched. Since no official remediation level or patch link is provided, verify the upgrade from the vendor's official release notes or repository. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.
