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 · unedited
Roxy-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 confidence

Roxy-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.

MitigationSince 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.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Roxy-WI installation and version
    Locate 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)
  2. Verify the vulnerable endpoint exists
    Locate 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
  3. Check user role configuration
    Examine 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
  4. Assess network exposure of web interface
    Check 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.
