Syspass · Syspass · CVE-2026-63725
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
sysPass (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The `doBackupFiles()` function in `FileBackupService.php` constructs a tar shell command by concatenating the backup directory path `this->path` directly into the command line without using `escapeshellarg()` or validating the path against a safe character set. This result is then passed to the PHP `exec()` function. Since the `this->path` value is read from the configuration and can be modified via the admin settings API or admin UI, an administrator or an attacker with an admin session or API token can inject shell metacharacters. This allows the execution of arbitrary OS commands with the privileges of the web server process user. Such execution could lead to the exposure of the master password and encryption keys, decryption of all stored credentials, and the installation of persistent backdoors.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
