CVE-2025-70093, published on 2026-02-13, is a vulnerability in OpenSourcePOS version 3.4.1 that enables attackers to execute arbitrary code by returning a crafted AJAX response. The issue is classified under CWE-77 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.4 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N), indicating high severity due to significant impacts on confidentiality and integrity.

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network, though it requires high attack complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution on the affected system, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data manipulation, or further compromise without disrupting availability.
