## What is CVE-2026-79758?

CVE-2026-79758 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Termix-SSH Termix, published on 24 Sep 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities. From 1.8.0 until 2.5.1, authenticated Termix users can access the server-stats API without per-host authorization. GET /status returns statuses for hosts the requester cannot access, GET /status/:id accepts an attacker-supplied numeric host identifier, and POST /clear-connections permits a regular user to clear the global SSH connection pool. The affected src/backend/ssh/server-stats.ts routes expose host online or offline state and lastChecked timestamps and can disrupt other users' active sessions or pooled connections. Unauthenticated requests remain blocked, but authentication alone does not preserve tenant isolation. This issue is fixed in version 2.5.1.

Weakness: CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key), CWE-284 (Improper Access Control)
