AI-suggested
Since the vulnerability involves unsafe command execution from untrusted input, immediate mitigation should include restricting access to the wsserver daemon, disabling or isolating the service if possible, and monitoring for suspicious WebSocket activity. Check the vendor advisory regularly for updates and apply patches once released.
Description
CVE-2026-65184 is a critical vulnerability in the root-privileged wsserver terminal-bridge daemon. The daemon constructs shell commands directly from client-supplied WebSocket fields and executes them via system() and popen() calls without any quoting, escaping, or character-set validation. Additionally, the daemon's public-key session path lacks appliance-session checks, increasing the risk of unauthorized command execution.
