CVE-2026-105487: yogeshojha reNgine OS command injection in subdomain discovery

CVE-2026-105487 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.3 · Published 2026-10-06

reNgine is an automated web reconnaissance framework used by penetration testers to gather reconnaissance data. A flaw in the listTargets API endpoint allows authenticated users to create targets with shell metacharacters in the domain name, which are later executed as OS commands during scanning tasks, leading to remote code execution on the reconnaissance server.

Technologies: Yogeshojha reNgine. Vendors: Yogeshojha.

Technical details

The listTargets API endpoint (POST /api/listTargets/) exposes a ModelViewSet that creates Domain objects without validation, unlike the legitimate AddTarget entry point which enforces domain name validation. The domain name is later interpolated unsanitized into at least nine external tool commands (amass, subfinder, tlsx, chaos, nmap) executed with shell=True, allowing OS command injection. An authenticated user with the PenetrationTester role can exploit this to achieve remote code execution.
