OS Command Injection in FastNetMon Community Edition (CVE-2026-48695)
Summary
OS command injection in FastNetMon Community Edition (CVE-2026-48695). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via date.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
FastNetMon Community Edition through 1.2.9 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the MikroTik router integration plugin. The _log() function in src/mikrotik_plugin/fastnetmon_mikrotik.php (lines 107-108) constructs shell commands by concatenating the $msg parameter directly into exec() calls: exec("echo date "- {FASTNETMON] - " . $msg . " " >> " . $FILE_LOG_TMP). This is identical in pattern to the Juniper plugin vulnerability. The $msg variable contains unsanitized attack data from command-line arguments. An attacker who can influence argv[] values can inject arbitrary shell commands. The fix is to replace exec() with file_put_contents() or use escapeshellarg().
