CVE-2026-45564
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 · uneditedRoxy-WI is a web interface for managing Haproxy, Nginx, Apache and Keepalived servers. In versions 8.2.6.4 and prior, POST /config/versions/<service>/<server_ip>/<configver>/save interpolates the URL-path configver parameter directly into a config-version path that ends up at os.system(f"dos2unix -q {cfg}"). configver is not run through EscapedString (Pydantic doesn't validate path segments declared as str) and the surrounding .. block is the broken tuple-membership patch from GHSA-vapt-004. An authenticated user with role <= 3 ("user") therefore reaches a bin/sh -c command-injection sink. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.
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 confidenceRoxy-WI versions 8.2.6.4 and prior contain a command injection vulnerability in the POST /config/versions/<service>/<server_ip>/<configver>/save endpoint. The configver URL path parameter is not validated (Pydantic doesn't validate path segments declared as str) and gets directly interpolated into an os.system(f'dos2unix -q {cfg}') call, allowing authenticated users with role <= 3 to inject arbitrary shell 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.
-
Identify Roxy-WI installation and versionLocate the Roxy-WI installation directory and check the version file or startup script. Common locations include /opt/roxy-wi or the application root. Run: cat <install_path>/app/version.py or check the web interface version display.Affected if Installed version is 8.2.6.4 or any prior version (8.x.y.z where y.z < 6.4 or any 7.x.x.x version)
-
Verify the vulnerable endpoint existsLocate the source code file handling the /config/versions/<service>/<server_ip>/<configver>/save route. Search for the dos2unix os.system call and confirm the configver path parameter is directly interpolated without validation.Affected if The code contains os.system(f'dos2unix -q {cfg}') or similar with unsanitized configver variable interpolation
-
Check user role configurationExamine the Roxy-WI user database or configuration file (typically users.json, users.db, or similar in the config directory). Identify users with role values <= 3.Affected if Any user account exists with role <= 3 (roles 1, 2, or 3) that can authenticate to the web interface
-
Assess network exposure of web interfaceCheck the Roxy-WI web server configuration (nginx/apache) or firewall rules to determine if the web interface (default port 8086 or 443) is exposed to untrusted networks.Affected if The Roxy-WI web interface is accessible from networks other than trusted management networks
A user is affected if they run Roxy-WI version 8.2.6.4 or prior, have users with role <= 3, and the web interface is network-accessible to those users or potential attackers.

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.
From vendor dataSince no patch exists at publication, restrict network access to the Roxy-WI web interface and limit user accounts to roles above 3 until vendor-supplied patches are available.
