Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities. Prior to version 2.3.2, the File Manager functionality in Termix contains a critical Broken Access Control vulnerability due to improper validation of the sessionId parameter. The backend trusts a client-controlled identifier without verifying that it belongs to the authenticated user. This allows an attacker to manipulate the value and access active File Manager sessions belonging to other users. Since these sessions are tied to SSH connections to remote VPS instances, exploitation allows unauthorized interaction with another user's remote filesystem. Because the File Manager exposes functionality such as file reading, writing, uploading, and execution, this vulnerability enables direct command execution on another user's VPS (RCE). Version 2.3.2 patches the issue.
AnalysisAI
Cross-tenant remote code execution in Termix (web-based SSH/file management platform) prior to version 2.3.2 allows an authenticated low-privileged user to hijack another user's active File Manager session by tampering with a client-supplied sessionId, gaining full read/write/execute access to that victim's remote VPS over their established SSH connection. The CVSS 9.0 score reflects scope change (the compromised session crosses the trust boundary into the victim's separate VPS) and high impact across CIA. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires (1) a valid authenticated account on the target Termix instance (PR:L), (2) a concurrent victim with an active File Manager session open against their VPS (UI:R - the attack only works while a victim session is live), and (3) the ability to submit or guess a sessionId value accepted by the File Manager backend. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are largely aligned toward high real-world risk: CVSS 9.0 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H indicates a network-reachable bug with low complexity that needs only low privileges (any logged-in Termix user) and yields scope-changing high impact on another tenant's VPS. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers or already holds a low-privileged account on a shared Termix instance, then issues File Manager API calls while iterating or guessing sessionId values until one resolves to another tenant's active SSH-backed File Manager session. Once attached, the attacker writes a payload to the victim's filesystem (for example, an authorized_keys entry or a cron job) and executes it through the File Manager's execute capability, achieving RCE on the victim's VPS under whatever account the victim's SSH session is connected as. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade Termix to version 2.3.2 or later, per advisory GHSA-cx2r-843c-vww8 (https://github.com/Termix-SSH/Termix/security/advisories/GHSA-cx2r-843c-vww8). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: disable the File Manager feature or restrict access to trusted, monitored systems; notify all Termix users of the session hijacking risk. …
