Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: ClearFoundation
Product: ClearOS

Description

ClearOS 7.9 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in its Log Viewer component. Authenticated attackers can exploit this flaw by submitting unsanitized input through the filter parameter, which is directly used in a shell command. This allows execution of arbitrary commands as the webconfig user. Because the webconfig user has extensive NOPASSWD sudo privileges by default, attackers can escalate privileges to root immediately. The vulnerability has a high severity score of 8.6 CVSS 4.0. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-67599 is an OS command injection vulnerability in ClearFoundation ClearOS version 7.9 within the Log Viewer component. The vulnerability arises because the filter parameter is not properly sanitized before being interpolated into a shell command in File.php. Authenticated attackers can inject command substitution payloads to execute arbitrary commands as the webconfig user. Due to the default configuration granting the webconfig user extensive NOPASSWD sudo privileges, attackers can escalate privileges to root immediately after exploitation. The vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.6. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently provided.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands as the webconfig user and escalate privileges to root due to default sudo configurations. This results in full system compromise on ClearOS 7.9 installations.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the Log Viewer component to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity involving the filter parameter. Consider reducing sudo privileges for the webconfig user if possible.
