Authenticated code execution via customLocation system call
Published Apr 20, 2026 · Updated Apr 20, 2026
Command injection in Progress ADC products before 7.2.63.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands on the appliance. The addcountry handler passes the user-controlled customLocation parameter to a system call without validating or neutralizing shell metacharacters. Geo Administration permission is required, and successful exploitation runs code in the appliance context with control over appliance data and operation.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
