Root code execution via unsandboxed email templates
Published Aug 6, 2026 · Updated Aug 6, 2026
Server-side template injection in WGDashboard 4.3.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code as root. The email preview and send endpoints pass attacker-controlled Body and Subject fields to unsandboxed jinja2.Template().render(), which evaluates template expressions. An administrator session and a WireGuard peer rendering context are required; successful exploitation returns command output and runs commands with the dashboard's root privileges.
