OS Command Injection in FreePBX (CVE-2026-73660)
Summary
OS command injection in FreePBX (CVE-2026-73660). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
FreePBX is an open source IP PBX. Prior to 16.0.6 and 17.0.5.4, the FreePBX Text-To-Speech module allows an authenticated administrator to save a TTS destination name that is HTML-encoded for storage, decoded during dialplan generation, passed as an AGI argument, and used to build filenames inside agi-bin/propolys-tts.agi. The TTS destination name reaches a raw shell-command execution path, allowing arbitrary operating-system command execution as the asterisk service user. This issue is fixed in versions 16.0.6 and 17.0.5.4.
