sysPass lets admin run commands via backup

CVE-2026-65711 · published 3 months ago
Summary

The sysPass password manager (up to version 3.2.11) lets a logged‑in administrator set a malicious backup location that causes the system to execute any command they choose when a backup runs. This can let an attacker run code with the same rights as the web server, potentially compromising the server. Update to a newer version or restrict backup path settings to trusted locations and limit admin access.

Original advisory text
sysPass 3.2.11 Authenticated OS Command Injection via Backup Path
sysPass through version 3.2.11 contains an OS command injection vulnerability that allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary commands as the web server process user by setting a malicious backup path and triggering a backup. The FileBackupService builds a tar shell command via string concatenation, inserting the admin-configurable siteBackupPath setting without escapeshellarg() or equivalent sanitization before passing it to exec(), causing injected commands to persist and execute on every subsequent backup trigger.
