CVE-2026-61498
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Vitec Flamingo 4.12.2 contains an unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability in the admin/ajax/gen_graphs.php endpoint that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands by supplying shell metacharacters in the start, end, key, or format HTTP GET parameters. Attackers can exploit the lack of input sanitization in the graph generation script, which passes user-supplied values directly to shell commands via passthru(), to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges due to the web server context having passwordless sudo access.

"value": "Vitec Flamingo 4.12.2 contiene una vulnerabilidad de inyección de comandos del sistema operativo no autenticada en el endpoint admin/ajax/gen_graphs.php que permite a atacantes remotos no autenticados ejecutar comandos arbitrarios al proporcionar metacaracteres de shell en los parámetros GET HTTP start, end, key o format. Los atacantes pueden explotar la falta de saneamiento de entrada en el script de generación de gráficos, que pasa valores proporcionados por el usuario directamente a comandos de shell a través de passthru(), para ejecutar comandos arbitrarios del sistema operativo con privilegios de root debido a que el contexto del servidor web tiene acceso sudo sin contraseña."
