What is CVE-2026-81180?
CVE-2026-81180 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in Syslifters sysreptor, published on 18 Sep 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
SysReptor is a fully customizable pentest reporting platform. Prior to 2026.61, authenticated users of SysReptor Professional can upload image files whose formats cause image processing to invoke Ghostscript, allowing embedded PostScript to operate in the shared temporary directory. An attacker can combine that behavior with a race involving GnuPG configuration files in temporary subdirectories to cause GnuPG to copy attacker-controlled Python code into the application code directory. The injected code executes with the privileges of the SysReptor application process after a worker restart. The Community edition is not affected. Version 2026.58 contains a partial mitigation, and this issue is fully fixed in version 2026.61.
