Root code execution via decoded eval input
Published Dec 27, 2025 · Updated Dec 27, 2025
Eval injection in Xspeeder SXZOS through 2025-12-26 allows remote attackers to execute Python code as root via a crafted login request. The vLogin.py index view base64-decodes the chkid query value and passes the decoded text to eval() after checking only for two required substrings. Exploitation is pre-authentication but requires exactly three query parameters, a time-derived header, an SXZ user agent, and a warmed session cookie; successful code runs as root.
