Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities. Prior to version 2.3.2, the GET /ssh/file_manager/ssh/resolvePath endpoint in Termix is vulnerable to OS command injection. The endpoint uses double-quote escaping for shell command construction, which does not prevent $(...) and backtick command substitution. Any authenticated user with an active File Manager SSH session can execute arbitrary commands on the connected remote host. Version 2.3.2 patches the issue.
AnalysisAI
Remote command execution in Termix web-based server management platform (versions prior to 2.3.2) allows any authenticated user with an active File Manager SSH session to execute arbitrary OS commands on the connected remote host via the GET /ssh/file_manager/ssh/resolvePath endpoint. The vulnerability stems from improper shell escaping that fails to neutralize $(...) and backtick command substitution, yielding a CVSS 9.9 critical rating with scope change. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the vendor advisory (GHSA-37f4-wq95-pg33) provides sufficient technical detail to develop one trivially.
Technical ContextAI
Termix is an open-source web-based SSH server management platform offering terminal access, tunneling, and remote file editing across Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS (per CPE cpe:2.3:a:termix-ssh:termix). The flaw is classified as CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command, aka OS Command Injection). The root cause is the resolvePath endpoint constructing shell commands by wrapping user-controlled input in double quotes - a sanitization approach that blocks naive quote-breaking but leaves shell metacharacters such as $(...) and ` ... ` (backtick command substitution) fully interpretable by POSIX shells like bash and sh. Because the command runs over an established SSH session, the injection executes on the remote managed host rather than the Termix server itself, which is reflected in the CVSS Scope:Changed (S:C) metric.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Termix 2.3.2 or later, available at https://github.com/Termix-SSH/Termix/releases/tag/release-2.3.2-tag with builds for Windows, Linux, and macOS. If immediate patching is not possible, compensating controls include restricting Termix account creation and tightly auditing the user list (since any authenticated user with an active File Manager session can exploit this), disabling the File Manager feature for non-essential users if the deployment supports per-user feature flags, and placing the Termix server behind a network reverse proxy that blocks or logs requests to the /ssh/file_manager/ssh/resolvePath endpoint - note that blocking that path will break legitimate path-resolution functionality in File Manager. Additionally, treat SSH target hosts as potentially compromised if any low-trust Termix user existed pre-patch, and review SSH session logs on managed hosts for anomalous command execution. Consult the vendor advisory at https://github.com/Termix-SSH/Termix/security/advisories/GHSA-37f4-wq95-pg33 for further detail.
