High CVSS 7.5
CVE-2026-73660
NVD analysis in progress
FreePBX is an open source IP PBX. Prior to 16.0.6 and 17.0.5.4, the FreePBX Text-To-Speech module allows an authenticated administrator to save a TTS destination name that is HTML-encoded for storage, decoded during dialplan generation, passed as an AGI argument, and used to build filenames inside agi-bin/propolys-tts.agi. The TTS destination name reaches a raw shell-command execution path, allowing arbitrary operating-system command execution as the asterisk service user. This issue is fixed in versions 16.0.6 and 17.0.5.4.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, with a privileged account and with no action from the victim. It also depends on circumstances the attacker does not control.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- Unfiltered input reaches the system shell, letting the attacker run their own commands on the server.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
