CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2026-22265 is a high-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Roxy-Wi Roxy-Wi. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 20% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-22265 is a command injection vulnerability in Roxy-WI, a web interface for managing HAProxy, Nginx, Apache, and Keepalived servers. Affecting versions prior to 8.2.8.2, the flaw resides in the log viewing functionality at app/modules/roxywi/logs.py line 87, where the grep parameter is processed twice—once in a sanitized manner and once raw—allowing injection of arbitrary system commands. Classified under CWE-78 with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), it was published on January 15, 2026.
Authenticated users with low privileges (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network without user interaction. By crafting malicious input for the grep parameter during log viewing, attackers gain the ability to execute arbitrary system commands on the underlying host, potentially leading to high-impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromises, such as data exfiltration, modification, or denial of service.
The vulnerability is addressed in Roxy-WI version 8.2.8.2, as detailed in the project's GitHub security advisory (GHSA-mmmf-vh7m-rm47), release notes, and the fixing commit (f040d3338c4ba6f66127487361592e32e0188eee). Security practitioners should upgrade to the patched version and review access controls for authenticated users interacting with log viewing features.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.
Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.
Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.
Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.
Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.
Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
