Description
FusionPBX through 5.6.5 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in call_recordings::download() that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute commands by placing calls with malicious caller ID values. When the record_name filename template is enabled, attackers can embed shell metacharacters like $(...) in the Caller-ID name or number, executing commands as the web server user once a privileged user downloads multiple recordings as a ZIP.

AI Analysis

Impact

FusionPBX versions up to 5.6.5 contain an OS command injection flaw within the call_recordings::download() function. The vulnerability allows an attacker to embed shell metacharacters such as $(...) directly into the Caller-ID name or number of a call. When the record_name filename template is enabled, downloading multiple recordings as a ZIP executes the injected command under the web server user’s privileges, providing full command‑execution rights on the host.

Affected Systems

FusionPBX FusionPBX, all releases up to and including 5.6.5. The flaw affects the call_recordings module that handles ZIP downloads of call recordings.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.7 classifies this as a high‑severity issue. The EPSS score of 1% indicates that the vulnerability has a measurable likelihood of being exploited, though it remains relatively low. The exploit requires placement of malicious calls and subsequent ZIP download by a privileged user, which makes exploitation plausible. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV but the severity and nature of the flaw warrant prompt attention. Potential attackers can gain arbitrary command execution on the web server if they control the Caller-ID field and an authorized user later triggers the download process.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade FusionPBX to a version that contains the fix for the command injection issue (e.g., 5.6.6 or later).
  • If an update is not yet available, disable the record_name filename template or restrict the ZIP download endpoint so that only highly trusted accounts can invoke it.
  • Sanitize all Caller-ID input fields to reject or escape shell metacharacters before they are used in file or command construction.
