AI-suggested
Since the product reached end of service in March 2026, it is likely that no further updates will be issued. Users should upgrade to version 5.6.2 or later if available. If upgrading is not possible, consider isolating the affected system from untrusted networks to prevent exploitation.
Description
XWEB EVO versions before 5.6.2 have a pre-authentication OS command injection vulnerability. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges by injecting shell metacharacters into the password field. The vulnerability arises from unescaped interpolation of the password into the hashpass invocation in several Lua scripts. The product line reached end of service in March 2026.
