CVE-2025-60938Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated command execution via unescaped firmware filename

Published Oct 24, 2025 · Updated Oct 24, 2025

Command injection in Emoncms 11.7.3 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands through a firmware upload request. The /admin/upload-custom-firmware handler concatenates the client-supplied filename and firmware parameters into runService attributes that PHP exec passes to a shell without escaping. Exploitation requires valid administrator credentials and Redis disabled, and commands run with the web application's privileges.
