CVE-2026-27602 · Severity: low · CVSS 3.1 · Published 2026-03-25

Technologies: modoboa (PyPI). Vendors: PyPI.

Executive brief

Modoboa is a mail hosting and management platform. Prior to version 2.7.1, `exec_cmd()` in `modoboa/lib/sysutils.py` always runs subprocess calls with `shell=True`. Since domain names flow directly into shell command strings without any sanitization, a Reseller or SuperAdmin can include shell metacharacters in a domain name to run arbitrary OS commands on the server. Version 2.7.1 patches the issue.
