CVE-2026-44887Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated RCE via unquoted configuration values

Published May 27, 2026 · Updated May 27, 2026

Code injection in leiweibau Pi.Alert before 2026-05-07 allows remote attackers to execute OS commands through its configuration editor. The SaveConfigFile action writes unquoted DB_PATH or LOG_PATH values into pialert.conf, which the scan daemon later evaluates with Python exec(). Web protection is disabled by default, so unauthenticated access is sufficient to run commands with the daemon's privileges, typically root.
