| CVE-2025-27364 | Cri | 0.60 | 10.0 | 0.21 | Feb 24, 2025 | In MITRE Caldera through 4.2.0 and 5.0.0 before 35bc06e, a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was found in the dynamic agent (implant) compilation functionality of the server. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server that Caldera is running on via a crafted web request to the Caldera server API used for compiling and downloading of Caldera's Sandcat or Manx agent (implants). This web request can use the gcc -extldflags linker flag with sub-commands. | |
| CVE-2024-13502 | Cri | 0.60 | — | 0.00 | Jan 17, 2025 | Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability in Newtec/iDirect NTC2218, NTC2250, NTC2299 on Linux, PowerPC, ARM allows Local Code Inclusion.This issue affects NTC2218, NTC2250, NTC2299: from 1.0.1.1 through 2.2.6.19.

| CVE-2026-44194 | Cri | 0.59 | 9.1 | 0.00 | May 13, 2026 | OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Prior to 26.1.8, an authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in the OPNsense core allows a user with user-management privileges to execute arbitrary system commands as root. An attacker can bypass input validation by formatting their malicious payload as a compliant email address, allowing shell commands to reach the underlying operating system. The flaw exists in the local user synchronization flow, within core/src/opnsense/scripts/auth/sync_user.php. This vulnerability is fixed in 26.1.8. | |
| CVE-2025-40949 | Cri | 0.59 | 9.1 | 0.00 | May 12, 2026 | A vulnerability has been identified in RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000RE (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1400 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1500 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1501 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1510 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1511 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1512 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1524 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1536 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX5000 (All versions < V2.17.1). Affected devices do not properly sanitize user-supplied input in the Scheduler functionality of the Web UI, allowing commands to be injected into the task scheduling backend. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on the underlying operating system. | |
| CVE-2026-36356 | Cri | 0.59 | 9.1 | 0.00 | May 5, 2026 | The GoAhead web server on MeiG Smart FORGE_SLT711 devices (firmware MDM9607.LE.1.0-00110-STD.PROD-1) allows unauthenticated OS command injection via the /action/SetRemoteAccessCfg endpoint. | |
| CVE-2026-6644 | Cri | 0.59 | 9.1 | 0.00 | Apr 20, 2026 | A command injection vulnerability was found in the PPTP VPN Clients on the ADM. The vulnerability allows an administrative user to break out of the restricted web environment and execute arbitrary code on the underlying operating system. This occurs due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input before it is passed to a system shell. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) and fully compromise the system. Affected products and versions include: from ADM 4.1.0 through ADM 4.3.3.RR42 as well as from ADM 5.0.0 through ADM 5.1.2.REO1. | |

In versions prior to 23.0.0 , the ODT to PDF conversion process in odf.php concatenates the MAIN_ODT_AS_PDF configuration constant directly into a shell command passed to exec() without sanitization. An authenticated administrator can inject arbitrary OS commands via this constant using command separators, achieving remote code execution as the web server user when any ODT template is generated. This issue has been fixed in version 23.0.0. | |
| CVE-2026-2701 | Cri | 0.59 | 9.1 | 0.01 | Apr 2, 2026 | Authenticated user can upload a malicious file to the server and execute it, which leads to remote code execution. | |

Prior to version 5.2.3, baserCMS contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the core update functionality. An authenticated administrator can execute arbitrary OS commands on the server due to improper handling of user-controlled input that is directly passed to exec() without sufficient validation or escaping. This issue has been patched in version 5.2.3. | |
| CVE-2026-32298 | Cri | 0.59 | 9.1 | 0.00 | Mar 17, 2026 | The Angeet ES3 KVM does not properly sanitize user-supplied variables parsed by the 'cfg.lua' script, allowing an authenticated attacker to execute OS-level commands. | |
