CVE-2026-30809
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedImproper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command vulnerability allows OS Command Injection via WebServerModuleDebug. This issue affects Pandora FMS: from 777 through 800
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceOS Command Injection vulnerability in Pandora FMS WebServerModuleDebug allows attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands through unsanitized input. The vulnerability affects versions 777 through 800 and stems from improper neutralization of special elements when constructing OS commands.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Pandora FMS installationCheck for Pandora FMS installation by looking for the product's web files, processes, or installation directories typical of this application (often in /var/www/html, /opt, or similar web root locations). Look for pandora processes running or pandora-related web content.Affected if Pandora FMS is not installed on the system
-
Identify installed Pandora FMS versionAccess the Pandora FMS web interface and navigate to the admin or about section to view the version number, or check version files in the installation directory if accessible.Affected if The installed version falls within >=777 and <800.1
-
Locate WebServerModuleDebug componentSearch the Pandora FMS installation for files or components named WebServerModuleDebug, ModuleDebug, or similar debug-related modules in the web application structure.Affected if The WebServerModuleDebug component exists in the installation
-
Verify debug module is enabledCheck the configuration files or admin settings to determine if the debug module is currently enabled and accessible via the web interface.Affected if The debug module is enabled and accessible without additional authentication barriers beyond standard login
A user is affected if Pandora FMS version is >=777 and <800.1, the WebServerModuleDebug component exists, and that debug module is enabled in their environment.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped800.1
Upgrade Pandora FMS to a version beyond 800 that includes the patch, or disable the WebServerModuleDebug module if not needed. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to debug endpoints and implement web application firewall rules to detect and block command injection attempts.
Pandora FMS 800.1 or later
- 1. Back up the current Pandora FMS installation and database before upgrading
- 2. Download Pandora FMS version 800.1 or later from the official Pandora FMS download repository (pandorafms.com)
- 3. Stop the Pandora FMS services (Pandora Server, Pandora DB, and web server)
- 4. Upgrade the Pandora FMS installation following the official upgrade documentation for your operating system
- 5. Verify that WebServerModuleDebug is not exposed in production environments - this parameter should be disabled in production
- 6. Start the Pandora FMS services
- 7. Verify the upgrade was successful by logging into the web interface and checking the version information
- 8. Test that critical functionality works as expected
