CVE-2026-54674: FreePBX command injection in User Control Panel

CVE-2026-54674 · Severity: info · Published 2026-09-28

FreePBX is an open-source IP telephone system used to manage voice communications in organizations. Authenticated users with access to the User Control Panel can execute arbitrary commands on the PBX server with webserver privileges, potentially compromising voice services and accessing sensitive data. The vulnerability requires legitimate user credentials but is particularly dangerous because many organizations grant standard employees UCP access while restricting higher-level administrator access.

Technical details

Insufficient input sanitization in User Control Panel URL parameters allows authenticated users to inject and chain shell commands for arbitrary code execution as the webserver user (typically asterisk). The vulnerability stems from improper handling of malicious strings in URL parameters and requires only standard authenticated UCP access—no additional privileges or user interaction needed. Patches are available in FreePBX 16.0.39 and 17.0.7.
