CVE-2026-116779

CriticalCVSS 9.8
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Prior to 1.11.3, FreeSWITCH's sofia_presence_handle_sip_i_message() splits the To user of an inbound SIP MESSAGE on a plus sign and treats the left side as a chat protocol selector. Selecting the api chat proto reaches switch_api_execute(), allowing a peer whose MESSAGE was accepted to run FreeSWITCH API commands, including operating-system command sinks, with the daemon's privileges. Exploitation has been observed in the wild.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability permits configuration and credential disclosure, arbitrary call control, and command execution, potentially leading to full compromise of the telecommunication system.

Recommendation

Immediately update FreeSWITCH to version 1.11.3 or later; until then, restrict access to SIP profiles and monitor for unusual API commands.

Original NVD description (English source)

FreeSWITCH is a Software Defined Telecom Stack enabling the digital transformation from proprietary telecom switches to a software implementation that runs on any commodity hardware. Prior to 1.11.3, sofia_presence_handle_sip_i_message() split the To user of an inbound SIP MESSAGE on a plus sign and treated the left side as a chat protocol selector. Selecting the api chat proto reached switch_api_execute(), allowing a peer whose MESSAGE was accepted to run FreeSWITCH API commands, including operating-system command sinks, with the daemon's privileges. Inbound chat is enabled on the stock internal and external profiles, and any authenticated profile account is sufficient; stock directory users without password material can also remove that barrier in affected configurations. The flaw permits configuration and credential disclosure, arbitrary call control, and command execution, and exploitation has been observed in the wild. This issue is fixed in version 1.11.3.
