CVE-2026-74237Network attack vector

Arbitrary file read via injected iperf flag

Published Sep 4, 2026 · Updated Sep 10, 2026

Argument injection in GFI Exinda AI and GFI ClearView before 7.6.5 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary system files. The web_tools_cmd() function concatenates untrusted server and options parameters into an iperf command without neutralizing argument delimiters. Lowest-level access reaches Tools Iperf Client, where an injected -F flag sends the selected file to an attacker-controlled server.
