Until a fix is released, restrict access to the pm2panel interface to trusted users only and consider implementing network-level controls to limit exposure. Input validation or shell escaping should be applied to the req.query.id parameter to prevent command injection.
Description
CVE-2026-72573 is an OS command injection vulnerability in the 4xmen pm2panel software. It affects all versions and allows an authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary system commands on the host. The vulnerability arises because the pm2panel.js handler passes an unsanitized user input parameter directly to a shell command without validation or escaping. This enables command chaining and potentially full system compromise.
