Summary
CVE-2026-80138 is an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in the web installer of ClipBucket V5, a video-sharing platform. The php_cli_filepath parameter of the installer is not properly validated or escaped before being passed to shell execution, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the web server user. The flaw carries a critical CVSS score of 9.2.
Technical details
- Root cause: the installer fails to validate or escape the
php_cli_filepathparameter before passing it to a shell execution call. - Trigger condition: an attacker sends a crafted POST request to the ClipBucket web installer supplying a malicious value for
php_cli_filepath. - Attack vector: network-based, requires no authentication and no user interaction.
- Impact: arbitrary OS command execution in the context of the web server process, leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected host.
Affected software
- ClipBucket V5, versions 5.5.1 through 5.5.3-#153
Severity
- CVSS v4.0 Base Score: 9.2 (Critical) —
CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: upgrade to a fixed ClipBucket V5 build that includes the patch addressing the
php_cli_filepathvalidation issue (fix committed to the official repository after version 5.5.3-#153). - If a patch cannot be applied immediately: restrict or disable access to the web installer (e.g., remove or block the installer path after initial setup, restrict it to trusted IPs), and ensure installer endpoints are not exposed on internet-facing systems.
- General hardening: run the web server process with least-privilege permissions to limit the impact of any command execution, and monitor for unexpected outbound connections or process spawning from the web server user.
