CVE-2026-44887 Details
Description
Pi.Alert is a WIFI / LAN intruder detector with web service monitoring. Prior to 2026-05-07, Pi.Alert's web-based configuration editor allows arbitrary Python code to be injected into pialert.conf. Since the background scan daemon loads this file via Python's exec(), injected code executes as the daemon process. With web protection disabled (the default configuration), no authentication is required, making this an unauthenticated Remote Code Execution vulnerability. This vulnerability is fixed in 2026-05-07.
A remote code execution vulnerability has been identified in Pi.Alert, a WiFi/LAN intruder detection system, prior to May 7, 2026. The issue arises in the web-based configuration editor, which allows arbitrary Python code to be injected into the 'pialert.conf' file. The background scan daemon executes this file using Python's 'exec()' function, running the injected code as the daemon process. With web protection turned off by default, this vulnerability can be exploited without authentication.
Users are advised to update to the version released on May 7, 2026, which addresses this vulnerability.
