NVD description

Ajenti is a Linux & BSD modular server admin panel. Prior to version 2.2.16, any authenticated user can call /api/core/tasks/start to enqueue InstallPlugin, UnInstallPlugin, or UpgradeAll from plugins/plugins/tasks.py without plugin-management authorization. InstallPlugin and UnInstallPlugin construct a pip package specification from unvalidated name and version fields, and the task worker invokes pip while running as root. A low-privileged user can therefore select or manipulate a package installed with root privileges and can install, remove, or upgrade plugins without administrative permission, resulting in root code execution and full host compromise. This issue is fixed in version 2.2.16.

Any logged-in Ajenti user can trigger a pip install running as root (CVSS 9.9). CVE-2026-79920 skips plugin-management authorization entirely. A low-privileged user can queue an install/uninstall/upgrade task, and since pip runs as root on unvalidated package name and version fields, that's a straight path to full host compromise. Fixed in ajenti 2.2.16. Update now. Details: http://vulntracker.io/cves/CVE-2026-79920 #Ajenti #CVE #InfoSec #CyberSecurity #PrivilegeEscalation
