SCA: security update for egroupware/egroupware (GHSA-8737-2x9g-xjj7)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 444474
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- In egroupware version 26.0 and earlier, an authenticated administrator can achieve OS-level Remote Code
Execution (RCE) by uploading a malicious eTemplate XML file (`.xet`) to the VFS `/etemplates` mount. The
`Widget::expand_name()` method passes template widget attribute values directly into a PHP `eval()` call
with only double-quote escaping applied - **backtick characters are not escaped**. In PHP, backticks
inside a double-quoted `eval()` string execute shell commands. This allows an admin-level user to escalate
from web application access to arbitrary OS command execution on the server. (CVE-2026-40187)
Solution
Update the egroupware/egroupware library and its related packages to version 23.1.20260601 or later.See Also
