CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe FreePBX Text-To-Speech module is vulnerable to arbitrary command execution due to improper handling of HTML-encoded input by authenticated administrators, which can lead to execution of malicious commands as the asterisk service user. This high-severity vulnerability affects versions prior to 16.0.6 and 17.0.5.4, and organizations using these versions should prioritize upgrading to mitigate potential exploitation risks. System administrators and security teams managing FreePBX installations should take immediate action to patch their systems.

Original NVD Description
FreePBX is an open source IP PBX. Prior to 16.0.6 and 17.0.5.4, the FreePBX Text-To-Speech module allows an authenticated administrator to save a TTS destination name that is HTML-encoded for storage, decoded during dialplan generation, passed as an AGI argument, and used to build filenames inside agi-bin/propolys-tts.agi. The TTS destination name reaches a raw shell-command execution path, allowing arbitrary operating-system command execution as the asterisk service user. This issue is fixed in versions 16.0.6 and 17.0.5.4.
