CVE-2026-27602

Modoboa has an OS Command Injection

Published Mar 25, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.2 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Modoboa is a mail hosting and management platform. Prior to version 2.7.1, `exec_cmd()` in `modoboa/lib/sysutils.py` always runs subprocess calls with `shell=True`. Since domain names flow directly into shell command strings without any sanitization, a Reseller or SuperAdmin can include shell metacharacters in a domain name to run arbitrary OS commands on the server. Version 2.7.1 patches the issue.
