What is CVE-2025-66022?

FACTION, a framework for PenTesting report generation and collaboration, has a vulnerability that allows untrusted extension code to execute arbitrary system commands on the host server. This is facilitated through an insecure extension management interface that does not require authentication, enabling unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious extensions and gain control over the server.
