Termix: OS Command Injection in Docker Container Management Endpoints

Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities. Prior to version 2.1.0, all Docker container management endpoints in Termix interpolate the containerId URL path parameter and WebSocket message field directly into shell commands executed via ssh2.Client.exec() on remote managed servers without any sanitization or validation. An authenticated attacker can inject arbitrary OS commands by crafting a malicious container ID, achieving Remote Code Execution on any managed server. This issue has been patched in version 2.1.0.

Root cause

User input is inserted as text into a shell command. The shell may interpret special characters in the input as part of the command.

The bug in code

The whole CWE-78 class

A representative example of this vulnerability class. Not the vendor's source code; it shows the faulty pattern and its fix.

Vulnerable

ts
const host = req.body.host;exec("ping -c 1 " + host, onResult);

Fixed

ts
const host = req.body.host;if (!/^[a-z0-9.-]{1,253}$/i.test(host)) return res.sendStatus(400);execFile("ping", ["-c", "1", host], onResult);
