CVE-2026-28673Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Admin-gated code execution via manifest-selected binary

Published Mar 18, 2026 · Updated Mar 18, 2026

Remote code execution in danvei233 xiaoheiFS 0.3.15 and earlier allows remote authenticated users with admin access to execute binaries. AdminPluginInstall extracts an uploaded ZIP, and Runtime.Start passes the manifest's binaries path directly to exec.Command without validating the file. Administrator access is required; successful exploitation runs attacker-supplied code with the server process's permissions.
