Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Exposed dangerous method or function (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-116779) Exploited
CWE-ID: CWE-749 - Exposed Dangerous Method or Function
CVSSv4: 9.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands with the privileges of the FreeSWITCH process.
The vulnerability exists due to unrestricted selection of the api chat protocol through the To user of an inbound SIP MESSAGE accepted by a chat-enabled FreeSWITCH SIP profile. An unauthenticated remote attacker can use stock passwordless directory accounts to deliver a crafted MESSAGE that invokes command-executing APIs, while profiles enforcing authentication without passwordless accounts require valid account credentials.
