Exploitation Conditions

Requires a reachable KaliFast instance and an authenticated session, but the description states free self-registration is available, so any attacker who can reach the application can obtain the required low-privilege account. The specific trigger is supplying attacker-controlled shell metacharacters in the ei_git_repo_url parameter of the Git remote configuration endpoint; exploitation therefore depends on access to that Git remote configuration feature. Limiting factors: the endpoint requires authentication (PR:L, satisfied via free registration), and resulting code executes only with www-data privileges rather than root, bounding direct impact to the web service account unless combined with a separate privilege escalation.

Impact

This is a credible, actionable vulnerability rather than an inflated high-CVSS score. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity OS command injection requiring only low privileges - and the description confirms those privileges are trivially obtained because free self-registration is available, effectively lowering the authentication barrier to near-zero for any attacker who can reach the endpoint. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week', indicating prioritized but not emergency remediation. No EPSS probability score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public PoC or exploit code are present in the supplied data, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation at this time; the risk is driven by the inherent ease of exploitation (command injection is a well-understood, reliably weaponizable class) and the low access barrier, not by observed in-the-wild activity. The signals are consistent - no conflicts between the CVSS vector and the description. The one caveat limiting blast radius is that code executes as www-data rather than root, so direct impact is scoped to the web service account absent a separate privilege-escalation path.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers a free account on an internet-reachable KaliFast instance, authenticates, and submits a crafted value in the ei_git_repo_url parameter of the Git remote configuration endpoint that embeds shell metacharacters. The injected command is executed by the server, giving the attacker arbitrary command execution as the www-data user. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, but the low complexity and authenticated-via-free-registration access make reliable exploitation straightforward.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

OS command injection in KaliFast's Git remote configuration endpoint allows any authenticated user - including holders of free self-registered accounts - to execute arbitrary commands on the server with www-data privileges by supplying crafted shell metacharacters in the ei_git_repo_url parameter. The flaw is rated 8.7 (CVSS 4.0) and assessed as CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, since the low-privilege prerequisite is trivially satisfied by open registration on any reachable instance. It is fixed in version 2026061802; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and vulnerability-source priority places remediation in the this-week window.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade KaliFast to version 2026061802, as stated in the Orange Cyberdefense advisory (https://advisories.orangecyberdefense.com/advisories/166), which fixes the ei_git_repo_url command injection in the Git remote configuration endpoint. No workaround or compensating control is documented in the available advisory data, so the version upgrade is the complete fix per the vendor; until it is applied, the exposure is limited only by the authentication prerequisite noted in the assessment, which free self-registration may satisfy for any attacker able to reach an exposed instance. Given the this-week priority and the ease of obtaining the required low-privilege account, treat the upgrade as time-sensitive rather than routine.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is KaliFast (CPE cpe:2.3:a:eisge:kalifast:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), which exposes a Git remote configuration endpoint that accepts a repository URL through the ei_git_repo_url parameter. Per the advisory, that parameter is passed into an operating-system command without adequate neutralisation of shell metacharacters, the classic CWE-78 OS Command Injection root cause: the supplied value is interpreted by a shell rather than treated as inert data. Because the endpoint is reachable over the network (AV:N) with low privileges (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N), any user who can obtain a session - the description notes free self-registration is available, so the account requirement is not a meaningful barrier on an exposed instance - can attempt injection through the Git remote configuration feature. Successful injection yields command execution under the web service account (www-data), not root, which bounds direct impact to what that service account can reach; obtaining full host compromise would require a separate privilege-escalation step. The exact construction of the vulnerable command invocation is not described in the available sources.

DescriptionCVE.org

The ei_git_repo_url parameter in the Git remote configuration endpoint of KaliFast is vulnerable to OS Command Injection. This OS Command Injection vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker (free registration available) to execute arbitrary commands on the KaliFast server with www-data privileges. Fixed in version 2026061802.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

KaliFast, our web application platform, contains a high-severity OS command injection flaw (CVE-2026-118477) that allows any authenticated user, including those with free self-registered accounts, to execute arbitrary commands on the server under the www-data user. This puts sensitive data and system integrity at risk and could lead to full compromise of the KaliFast instance, affecting all users and potentially exposing customer information. Leadership should prioritize remediation due to the low barrier to exploitation and the criticality of the affected system.
