Termix-SSH vulnerabilities and threats

Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities. Starting in version 1.7.0, Termix Desktop (Electron) disables TLS certificate validation, allowing a machine-in-the-middle attacker to intercept and modify HTTPS traffic to the configured Termix server. This can lead to credential theft and JWT/session theft during login and normal use. As of time of publication, no known patched versions are available.

Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities. Prior to version 2.1.0, all Docker container management endpoints in Termix interpolate the containerId URL path parameter and WebSocket message field directly into shell commands executed via ssh2.Client.exec() on remote managed servers without any sanitization or validation. An authenticated attacker can inject arbitrary OS commands by crafting a malicious container ID, achieving Remote Code Execution on any managed server. This issue has been patched in version 2.1.0.

Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities. Prior to version 2.1.0, the extractArchive and compressFiles endpoints in file-manager.ts use double-quoted strings for shell command construction, unlike all other file manager operations which use single-quote escaping. Double quotes allow $(command) substitution, enabling command injection on the remote SSH host. This issue has been patched in version 2.1.0.

Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities. Prior to version 2.1.0, /users/login issues a temporary JWT (temp_token) for TOTP-enabled accounts. That token carries a pendingTOTP state and should only be valid for the second-factor flow. However, the auth middleware accepts this token on regular authenticated endpoints. This effectively turns 2FA into single-factor (password) for impacted accounts. This issue has been patched in version 2.1.0.

CVE-2026-22804 is a high-severity Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting Termix versions 1.7.0 through 1.9.0. The flaw exists in the Termix File Manager component, where SVG file content is not properly sanitized before rendering. An attacker who has compromised a managed SSH server can plant a malicious SVG file that executes arbitrary JavaScript when previewed by a Termix user. This vulnerability can lead to full compromise of user sessions and potentially the application itself. It requires no privileges but does require user interaction to preview the malicious file. The issue is fixed in version 1.
