CVE-2026-52891

CRITICAL CVSS: 9.9 Published: 2026-07-15 Modified: 2026-07-17

Description

Wekan is open source kanban built with Meteor. Prior to 9.07, Wekan avatar upload functionality embeds user-supplied filenames into paths later passed to child_process.exec() for MIME-type detection. Because models/avatars.js and models/fileValidation.js used a shell command with the avatar filename, shell metacharacters such as backticks and $() in the filename could execute commands on the server. This issue is fixed in version 9.07.
