Root command execution via unsanitized Log Viewer filter
Published Aug 3, 2026 · Updated Aug 3, 2026
OS command injection in ClearOS 7.9 Log Viewer allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands through its filter parameter. File.php interpolates the unsanitized filter value directly into a shell command, so command-substitution syntax executes as the webconfig user. Access to the Reports interface is required; default NOPASSWD sudo rules then permit immediate root command execution.
