The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated account on the Personal Management System instance (CVSS PR:H) with access to the storage module's file manager. The concrete prerequisites are: ability to create a directory under upload/files whose name contains shell metacharacters such as $(...), then invoke the storage tree 'move' or 'copy' operation, which passes the unescaped folder path into a shell command. Limiting factors: valid authentication is mandatory (no anonymous/pre-auth path), the attacker must reach the storage/file-manager feature, and the instance must be running a version through 2.1.0; no special non-default configuration is otherwise described. Resulting command execution is confined to the privileges of the web server user.

Impact

The signals point to a genuine but bounded risk rather than a drop-everything emergency. The CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.6 (High) reflects network reachability (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no attack requirements (AT:N), and full compromise of the vulnerable system's confidentiality, integrity and availability (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) - consistent with OS command execution as the web server user. The critical tempering factor is PR:H: the vector explicitly requires high privileges, so this is an authenticated-only flaw, not a pre-auth internet-wide threat. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week' (not act_now/emergency), aligning with a serious-but-not-frantic posture. KEV status is not listed (not confirmed actively exploited), and no EPSS score was supplied, so widespread automated exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the input - treat the absence of EPSS/KEV as missing data, not as evidence of safety. No verified working exploit code is indicated in the input, though VulnCheck published an advisory and the GitHub issue (#165) plus specific source-line references document the flaw precisely enough to accelerate exploit development. The product is a niche self-hosted open-source application, which further limits real-world blast radius. Net: a real, high-severity post-authentication RCE worth patching promptly for anyone running it, but its practical urgency is constrained by the authentication requirement and the product's small deployment footprint.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated user of a Personal Management System instance (versions through 2.1.0) uses the storage/file-manager module to create a directory under upload/files whose name contains shell metacharacters such as $(id). When the user then triggers a move or copy operation, the unescaped folder path is passed into the shell tree command and the embedded command executes as the web server user. No public working exploit is confirmed in the input, but the referenced source lines and VulnCheck advisory describe the mechanism in detail; low attack complexity (AC:L) means a logged-in attacker can trigger it reliably.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

Authenticated users of Volmarg Personal Management System through 2.1.0 can inject operating system commands into the storage module's tree operation by creating a folder under upload/files whose name contains shell metacharacters such as $(...), then triggering a move or copy of that folder. The unescaped path is passed into a shell call, so the injected payload executes with the privileges of the web server user. The CVSS 4.0 vector requires high privileges (PR:H) and a valid account with access to the storage file manager, and the resulting scope is limited to the web server account; no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis and the case is prioritized for handling this week rather than as an emergency.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or fixed version is identified in the available data at time of analysis, so the primary action is to track the upstream issue at https://github.com/Volmarg/personal-management-system/issues/165 and the project repository for a fix commit or tagged release, and to upgrade as soon as one is published (the vulnerable code paths to watch are src/Services/Shell/ShellAbstractService.php and src/Services/Shell/ShellTreeService.php in v2.1.0). Until then, treat the storage file manager as a privileged feature: restrict which accounts can reach the storage module and the tree move/copy operations, since exploitation requires an authenticated high-privilege session (PR:H) and the trade-off is reduced functionality for ordinary users. Run the application under a dedicated, low-privilege web server account with no interactive shell and a minimal filesystem footprint so that a successful injection yields only the web server user's limited rights. Prevent the injection primitive where possible by disallowing or sanitizing shell metacharacters (such as $, (, ), ;, |, &, backticks) in directory names created under upload/files, accepting that this restricts legitimate folder naming. Review the advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/volmarg-personal-management-system-through-2.1.0-os-command-injection-via-storage-folder-path for any updates to the vendor position.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is a PHP service layer (src/Services/Shell/ShellAbstractService.php lines 55-76 and ShellTreeService.php lines 71-102 in the v2.1.0 tree) that builds and runs shell commands for storage tree operations, notably move and copy. The flaw is CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command): attacker-controlled directory names are concatenated into the command string without escaping or quoting, so shell metacharacter sequences such as $(...) are interpreted by the shell rather than treated as literal path text. Because the vulnerable path flows from a user-created folder name into a shell invocation, any authenticated user who can create directories under upload/files and invoke the storage tree move/copy action can obtain command execution context. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, with subsequent system impacts marked N) and the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) agree that the prerequisite is an authenticated high-privilege account on the instance; no unauthenticated or pre-authentication path is described, and execution is bounded by the web server user's permissions.

DescriptionCVE.org

Volmarg Personal Management System through 2.1.0 contains an OS command injection vulnerability that allows authenticated users to execute shell commands via unescaped folder paths in the storage module's tree command. Attackers can create a directory under upload/files containing shell metacharacters such as $(...) and then move or copy it, running commands as the web server user.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2026-118755 is a high-severity OS command injection flaw in Volmarg Personal Management System through version 2.1.0, allowing authenticated users with storage file manager access to execute arbitrary commands as the web server user. While exploitation requires valid credentials and no public exploit code exists, the vulnerability poses a significant risk if an attacker gains low-privileged access or if an insider misuses it, potentially leading to data compromise or lateral movement. Leadership should prioritize remediation within the week due to the high CVSS score and the product's role in managing sensitive personal information.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include restricting storage module access to trusted users, enforcing strict input validation, deploying WAF rules to block shell metacharacters, and limiting web server account privileges.
