CVE-2026-8037
This vulnerability is a critical OS command injection in Progress ADC products. An unauthenticated attacker can run arbitrary commands on the LoadMaster appliance via unsanitized input in API endpoints, potentially taking full control of the system.
No official fix yet. If none appears within 45 days of first tracking, this entry is removed automatically.
Who is affected
Progress Connection Manager for ObjectScale, Progress ECS Connection Manager, and Progress LoadMaster appliances. Administrators managing these devices are the typical users at risk.
Real-world impact
An attacker could execute any command on the appliance, leading to complete system compromise, data theft, or service disruption.
Why this severity
The CVSS score of 9.6 reflects the lack of authentication required, the ability to execute arbitrary commands (high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact), and the local access vector. The vulnerability allows an attacker to fully control the affected system.
