Description

CVE-2026-73661 is a high-severity vulnerability in the FreePBX Framework module that allows an authenticated user with backup-restore or write access to crafted backup files to disable authentication during restoration. This occurs because the restore process permits restoring the hidden AUTHTYPE setting with the value 'none', bypassing the user interface's removal of this insecure setting. The issue affects FreePBX versions prior to 16.0.47 and 17.0.30 and is fixed in these versions.
