Since the product reached end of service in March 2026, no official fixes are expected. Users should consider upgrading to a supported product or implementing compensating controls such as restricting access to the vulnerable interfaces and monitoring for suspicious activity.

Description

XWEB EVO versions 5.2.3 through 5.8.8 contain an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability. Authenticated attackers can inject shell metacharacters into the output device path parameter processed by backup.lua, leading to arbitrary command execution as root. This occurs due to unescaped concatenation into shell commands executed via the wlua interpreter, including through setuid interfaces xwbackup.cgi and xwrestore.cgi. The product line reached end of service in March 2026.
