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 the Termix File Manager component unsafely processes the path parameter and embeds it into a shell command executed over the active SSH session. Because the user-controlled value is placed inside double quotes and only double quotes are escaped, shell command substitution syntax such as $(...) is still interpreted by the remote shell. Version 2.3.2 fixes the issue.
AnalysisAI
Command injection in Termix server management platform before version 2.3.2 allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary shell commands on remote SSH-managed hosts via the File Manager's resolvePath endpoint. The flaw stems from incomplete shell escaping that only handles double quotes while leaving command substitution syntax interpretable. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-v26q-rpv5-9m72) and CVSS 9.0 rating signal high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability of downstream SSH targets.
Technical ContextAI
Termix (cpe:2.3:a:termix-ssh:termix) is a web-based SSH management platform providing browser-accessible terminal, tunneling, and file editing functionality against remote hosts. The vulnerability is a classic CWE-78 (OS Command Injection) where the GET /ssh/file_manager/ssh/resolvePath handler takes a user-supplied 'path' parameter and concatenates it into a shell command string sent over an active SSH session. The sanitizer escapes only double quote characters but leaves shell metacharacters such as $(...) untouched, so command substitution executes on the remote host even though the value sits inside a double-quoted argument - a textbook example of insufficient shell-metacharacter neutralization.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Termix to version 2.3.2 or later, available from https://github.com/Termix-SSH/Termix/releases/tag/release-2.3.2-tag for Windows, Linux (x64 and ARM64), and macOS. Until the upgrade is applied, restrict Termix accounts to fully trusted operators only, block external network reach to the Termix web UI via firewall or reverse-proxy ACLs, and avoid configuring SSH credentials for high-value hosts inside Termix because any logged-in user can pivot through the file manager; note these controls reduce but do not eliminate insider risk and break legitimate multi-user collaboration workflows. Review the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-v26q-rpv5-9m72 for any additional vendor guidance.
