Remote command execution via unescaped tunnel fields
Published Jun 5, 2026 · Updated Jun 5, 2026
OS command injection in Termix before 2.3.2 allows remote attackers to execute commands on a source SSH host through tunnel setup. The POST /ssh/tunnel/connect handler interpolates endpointIP, endpointUsername, password, and a tunnel marker into a shell command passed to conn.exec without escaping. Exploitation requires attacker-controlled host-record values and a tunnel connection; auto-start tunnels can execute stored payloads again after Termix restarts.

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.
