Description
CVE-2026-43641 is a critical OS command injection vulnerability in Softaculous Virtualizor prior to version 3.2.9 (Patch 9) and version 3.0.0. It affects the billing module handler, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root by bypassing authentication through crafted parameters. The vulnerability arises from deserialization of a crafted billing_data POST field and injection of shell payloads via the uid field, which is passed directly to proc_open() through vexec(). This leads to full control over the host and all managed VPS instances.
