CVE-2026-48030 Details
Description
Pheditor is a single-file editor and file manager written in PHP. From version 2.0.1 to before version 2.0.4, an OS Command Injection vulnerability in the terminal action handler allows any authenticated user to execute arbitrary OS commands by injecting shell metacharacters into the 'dir' POST parameter, completely bypassing the TERMINAL_COMMANDS whitelist and achieving full Remote Code Execution with web server privileges. This issue has been patched in version 2.0.4.
An OS command injection vulnerability has been identified in Pheditor versions 2.0.1 prior to 2.0.4. This vulnerability allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary operating system commands by injecting shell metacharacters into the 'dir' POST parameter. The issue arises in the terminal action handler, where the 'dir' parameter is passed to the 'shell_exec()' function without proper sanitization, completely bypassing the 'TERMINAL_COMMANDS' whitelist. As a result, this vulnerability enables full remote code execution with the privileges of the web server user.
Users can update to Pheditor version 2.0.4 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
