What is CVE-2026-60121?

Vitec Flamingo version 4.12.2 contains an unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability in the admin/ajax/ping.php endpoint. This flaw enables remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by taking advantage of a double-evaluation issue in how shell arguments are handled. The endpoint uses escapeshellarg() to sanitize the user-supplied POST parameter; however, it later passes the decoded value to a second shell_exec() call without proper escaping. As a result, this oversight allows malicious commands to run with elevated privileges, potentially impacting system integrity through passwordless sudo.

Flamingo 4.12.2

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
