CVE-2026-49472 Details
Description
FreeSWITCH is a Software Defined Telecom Stack enabling the digital transformation from proprietary telecom switches to a software implementation that runs on any commodity hardware. Prior to version 1.11.0, FreeSWITCH includes a vulnerable function, PREFIX(prologTok)(), in libs/xmlrpc-c/lib/expat/xmltok/xmltok_impl.c, which was cloned from an outdated and vulnerable version in libexpat/libexpat. The function did not receive the corresponding security patch. This issue has been patched in version 1.11.0.
A vulnerability exists in FreeSWITCH versions prior to 1.11.0, specifically within a function called PREFIX(prologTok)() in the XML-RPC component. This function was derived from an outdated version of libexpat that contained a security flaw. The vulnerability arises because the function missed a critical security update, leaving it open to potential exploitation. As a result, this issue could cause memory corruption or other security-related problems, depending on how the function is utilized within FreeSWITCH.
Users are advised to update FreeSWITCH to version 1.11.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
