## What is CVE-2026-65711?

CVE-2026-65711 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in nuxsmin sysPass, published on 24 Jul 2026. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

sysPass through version 3.2.11 contains an OS command injection vulnerability that allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary commands as the web server process user by setting a malicious backup path and triggering a backup. The FileBackupService builds a tar shell command via string concatenation, inserting the admin-configurable siteBackupPath setting without escapeshellarg() or equivalent sanitization before passing it to exec(), causing injected commands to persist and execute on every subsequent backup trigger.

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

What it is: CVE-2026-65711 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in nuxsmin sysPass, published on 24 Jul 2026. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-65711 exists.

Affected product: nuxsmin sysPass. 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.
