## What is CVE-2026-45748?

CVE-2026-45748 is a critical command injection vulnerability in Termix-SSH Termix, published on 5 Jun 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities. The `POST /ssh/tunnel/connect` endpoint in Termix prior to version 2.3.2 builds an SSH tunnel command by interpolating user-controlled host record fields (`endpointIP`, `endpointUsername`, `password`) directly into a shell command without escaping, allowing persistent OS command injection on the source SSH host. Version 2.3.2 patches the issue.

Weakness: CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-45748 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-45748 is a critical command injection vulnerability in Termix-SSH Termix, published on 5 Jun 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-45748 exists.

Affected product: Termix-SSH Termix. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
